I can't tell you what it is about monkeys, but if you find them awesome, I know a great store for you!

I liked Peter the best. Something about that haircut I guess.
Oh you mean monkeys, the animals. I think monkeys are great too.

I went to the San Diego Zoo last June and the chimps where fantastic. A female came over to the glass and leaned with her back against it. Some old man banged on the glass and the chimp turned around and put her chest against the glass and he did it again and the chimp stood there and grinned. The crowd of about 50 people was laughing and taking pictures. The chimp stuck its butt up against the glass but the old guy wouldn't hit the glass.
The gorillas and polar bears also put on a very good show. The hippos also were funny to watch. One little girl walked by when we were looking at some animals laying on the ground and said, "Stupid lazy animals". The lions and bears where just laying there and not moving. |

Totally agree Firedice.
I read an article a couple of years ago about childrens toys. Apparently, although teddy bears are really popular (probably for historical reasons) kids seem to prefer monkeys. Monkeys are simply more fun and know more jokes. |

And they are funnier looking dressed as people.

El Lamo steps up to share his favorite monkey story.
As a child, his grandparents took him to the Metropolitan Toronto Zoo. While standing in front of one of the exhibits watching the monkeys play... our attention was drawn to one male monkey who chased down a female monkey and proceeded to provide an anatomical demonstration. His elderly grandmother shuddered and said, "Surely they could train them to do that when no-one is looking!"
Life is a system of circumstance presented coincidently in an illusory way.

One of my friends is obsessed with monkeys. He just doesn't stop talking about them. Does anyone think that monkeys contain special hypnotising powers to make people like them?

I don't know, for myself I see a kind of family-connection.
I myself prefer gorillas, they seem rather peaceful & downright lazy, just like me. Bjørn

Ah, must clarify. When I say "monkeys", I am including apes. I do so love gorillas. I used to sit for longer than my friends wanted to and just watch the gorillas at the zoo. They were silverbacks and the grand patriarch was named Carlos. Also, there's something about chimps that is just heart-breaking! They always look slightly worried about something.
Also, I think monkeys are the only animal that can pull off the red fez look. Seriously. Put a fez on a kitten. See? Not as cool! Try a fez on badger. nope, not even close. |

Ah, you may think monkeys are cool with their cheeky, vine-swinging, genital fondling, poo-throwing ways. However, try seeing them from the perspective of the banana. Not so cute now, huh?

Firedice,
You should know that apes are not monkeys. Monkeys are not apes. Apes are primates as are monkeys. We are primates we are not apes. Monkeys have tails, apes do not. George, monkeys do throw poo, accurately. Chimps don't like clowns (for obvious reasons). Come to think of it chimps throw poo as well (actually they have been known to throw poo at clowns, for obvious reasons). I think that apes and monkeys remind us of ourselves, when we watch the gorillas we relate to them (except for the poo throwing hopefully). Jason "Last train to Clarksville" Wethington |

I am so glad Charleton Heston hasn't heard of all this monkey love. He would keel over with a major cardiac event.

I know that monkeys aren't apes! That's why I clarrified earlier. But starting a post titled "PRIMATES!" doesn't have a very cool ring to it.
Incedentally, I just read a story about a crazy baboon that stole a baby and ate it in a village in east asia. So, therefore, I don't like baboons. Spider Monkeys, on the other hand, ROCK! I think it would be fun to have a prehensile tail. Think of all the things you could pick up with it! |

Mmmmm, monkeys......best with a light tomato pasta!
The most beautiful experience we can have is the mysterious. It is the fundamental emotion which stands at the cradle of true art and true science. Whoever does not know it and can no longer wonder, no longer marvel, is as good as dead, and his eyes are

I know you knew firedice...toungue in cheek doesn't work so well in written media. I agree that spider monkeys rock as do gibbons and howler monkeys. I love wathching them jump around swinging away and having a grand ol' time. I am glad the jumping, swinging and howling monkeys don't throw poo (for obvious reasons).
Nothing would be more frightening than a jumping swinging howling poo thrower...well maybe a shark riding on an elephant, eating and trampeling everything in its path. Jason "sitting in a corner and rocking" Wethington |

Firedice, I'm not sure I want to know what compelled you to start this thread!!
Is there any one out there that would admit to "loving" baboons? With that red butt thing goin' on there? Not me, man. Plus you have that "Omen" (the movie) factor when it comes to the baboons!! Lee.
