Did my brother give you that picture of me?

Thank you for posting. I feel better now.

Dare I say it once again, De?

It's a chimpanzee, which is one of the great apes, not a monkey. And that little booger may look cute, but the full grown ones have about the strength of five men, or enough to rip steel bars out of concrete, along with an unpredictable and sometimes violent temperment. Ironically, it is gorillas that are vastly more patient.

Man, only two comments before the requisite "That's not a monkey" notice! ;-)

Is it just me or does that monkey have a mustache?

I think it's a little Erol Flynn type of moustache. What do you think, Jared?

I hearby relenquish my ape police duties to David Marcoe who, with time, will perhaps tone it down just a little. It's all good David. Sometimes they actually post pictures of real monkeys and call them monkeys but usually they are apes. I've come to the conclusion that the Thinklings, do indeed, know the difference. It's just that ape, in no way imaginable, is nearly as fun to say, or read, as monkey.

Monkey, monkey, monkey, monkey, monkey, monkey, monkey, monkey, monkey, monkey... :-)

And I'd go more Clark Gable than Errol Flynn...

Yep, Damon, I think you're right to go with Clark Gable, I'll defer to you.

You can tell he's thinking about reproducing the works of Shakespeare, if only he had a typewriter.

Lonely day hey little monkey? Your staring at me.Wanting to give me some berries
