    Also if you’ve ever seen a coconut fall - it’s a little shocking how heavy it lands. It’s like a cinder block. Humans can get killed easily standing under a coconut tree, and monkeys are smarter than that :)

    I had to go look it up though. The number of people killed by coconuts falling every year is . . . unknown.

      “Sorry, pal, but you didn’t pay for the additional coconut coverage…”

      It’s kind of impressive that we’re on the edge of being possibly the first spacefaring species in the universe, but we are still done in regularly by plants, insects, mollusks, and single cell organisms…pretty much the oldest stuff around. Keep us humble, “lower species!”
