The London Zoo has the best signs

Like this one, that isn’t so much warning you against specific action as just informing you of certain risks you take by being alive.

I love it. I have a small collection of pictures of overly graphic otherwise surprising pictorial warning signs. This would be a great addition. Technically, the little "No food/drink" icon does seem to be warning against a specific action, but I do appreciate the fact that the text itself just states a fact and lets you draw your own conclusions. It reminds me of one of my favorite bumper stickers: the one that says, "Start seeing motorcycles." I like it because it doesn't tell you what to DO ("Stop running into motorcycles") it just tells you what to see and assumes that once you are perceiving correctly you will take the appropriate action.

So... do the monkeys in the London Zoo just run around loose, mingling with the patrons???

No, but there is a walk-through aviary-like enclosure where the monkeys are loose and can interact with people (and a keeper who is stationed there to make sure they don't).
