It's Neatorama Collaboration Monday!

These are zookeepers and visitors at the Ueno Zoo, in Tokyo, and they are throwing beans at that gorilla. Beans! It's part of a traditional ceremony to dispel demons, to celebrate the coming of spring and drive out bad luck.

So they are pegging a gorilla with beans for good luck.

Ok.

Don't forget to check out Neatorama for more neato items all the time!
