Monkeys also pay for sex.

So like us... *snif*

Ooh, a monkey trifecta may come into play today.

Listen, we all know Obama went "skeet skeet" in the Kool-Aid, but that's not a reason not to vote for him. Now, this monkey business has to stop. It's degrading and insulting, and...

*RTFA*

...never mind. Carry on.

1. Send monkeys down to the floor of the stock exchange
2. poo-throwing ensues
3. profit!

It's more like if we were all monkeys, we wouldn't complain when we get shafted...

That's what we get for not hailing to the chimp.

The problem is that no group of politicians should run any economy. There's a need for some regulation, obviously, but the less intervention, the better.

A year ago this would have got 300 posts by now with Bush as the butt of the joke. I guess we know who got the last laugh.

Shallow Hals indeed.

eqtworld: HAHA Bush is a chimp etc....

That article does something that annoys the hell out of me and is a very common misconception- while it does not say so directly, (I blame the author not the researchers) it IMO strongly implies that "monkeys" are less evolved than humans or that they are our ancestors/just like our ancestors. Chimpanzees are not our ancestors, none of our hominid ancestors survive today.


I like how you correct one common misconception with another =). Chimpanzees=\ monkeys (I believe this was done on Macaca mulata)even if they do indeed picture a chimpanzee.

eqtworld: selfs: Chimpanzees=\ monkeys

That's why I was saying "monkeys" in quotes ( I know chimps are not monkeys, i promise)


Sorry, I work at a chimpanzee sanctuary that does educational workshops/tours on the weekends, so it's kinda a habit
