My little brother is actually a Space-Monkey's baby.
The Russians sent this monkey into space, and she was impregnated by evil alien pond-scum.
She crash-landed in our back-yard and dropped her baby off. We never saw her again, but now I do have a little brother who is now my little sister because he won't cut his hair and has developed a propensity for falsetto.

YES! I looked at your profile and it says you're 16, so obviously I'm not crazy (er...)! People are stunned when I say that's what I grew up watching - "The Monkees", "Gilligan's Island", "Bewitched"... And we had an Atari for the longest time, so I guess I can blame my partents for time-warping me.
And that whole "Crown Jewels of of England" book that was probably the root of half my other problems.

Ha I know the show is soooooooooo old but it was feckin great!Everyday after I came home from school I watched that with my mam,oh the memories
Our dogs are each fat and they smell atrocious. I don't hate them, but I'm not enamoured with them, either.
Our cats, on the other hand, are small and cute and don't ALWAYS smell bad and they don't need to ever be walked outside when it's raining (or ever). They poo in their own box, thank goodness.
MONKEYS, now, they'll look down girls' shirts.
I love the Space Monkey!! :D that's curious George, isn't it? He's so cute. aaw.
however, this is my fav monkey pic so far: link
everybody now: aaaaaw!
Yay, a monkey thread.
Chimps aren't stupid in the slightest though. Sell all your stuff and find a copy of Carl Sagan's book "The Dragons of Eden" (better yet - marry Paul McCartney and sell *his* stuff).
There is a chapter about chimpanzees being taught sign language and how to use these primitive computers from the 70's and shit.
*Washoe the chimp knew the words 'water' and 'bird', but had never seen a duck, so she called it a 'water bird' which is pretty much what we call ducks.
*Lucy hadn't seen a watermelon before, and thus described it a 'drink fruit'.
*When Washoe tasted a radish for the first time, she called it 'cry hurt food'. Obviously burnt her mouth or something.
*One of them saw a rhesus monkey and repeatedly signed 'dirty monkey, dirty monkey, dirty monkey' - the word dirty had been taught to them for use when they'd soiled furniture or clothing. So they obviously think rhesus monkey suck.
*One chimp called Lana was irritated at it's trainer and called it 'you green shit'.
*Another chimp tried sign language on a cat. It didn't work.
*When the foster mother of one of the chimps left, it said 'cry me, me cry'.
*They find movies about chimpanzees more interesting than movies about humans. (I'd love to make an action adventure with chimps in it just to give them something better to watch than "Anatomy of the Chimpanzee").
*The ones that learnt how to use the computer would sometimes (in the middle of the night) request "Please, machine, tickle Lana".
*One of the trainers kept sabotaging the computer so that the chimp couldn't complete typing it's request. Eventually, the chimp got irritated and wrote a new sentence: "Please, Tim, leave room".

I'm telling you, we don't treat the chimpanzees well enough. They are frigging unbelievably intelligent compared to the idea we have of them that they're stupid hippies living in the woods. They clearly have emotions, they have filthy senses of humour, and they clap when something funny happens.
And to think we *insult* these poor fellas by comparing them to World Leaders we're not happy with.
Yep. I love chimpanzees, by the way.
^WOW
That's so fascinating.... seriously. I love the story about the monkey who named a kitten "Ball". That's so cute. we should start to hang out more with monkeys. they're more like humans than we know.
Oh they are. And people wonder why I get so livid when they play footage of dragging gorilla corpses around. We show absolutely no respect to animals who can't say "damn the Dow Jones is down 5 points" or "can you please move your Mercedes so I can get to my BMW?".
It's miserable behaviour.
