"In 2003, scientists at Paignton Zoo and the University of Plymouth, in Devon in England reported that they had left a computer keyboard in the enclosure of six Sulawesi Crested Macaques for a month; not only did the monkeys produce nothing but five pages consisting largely of the letter S, they started by attacking the keyboard with a stone, and continued by urinating and defecating on it." - Wikipedia.com, Infinite Monkey Theorem

A Rebirth, a Death, and a Crotch-shot

I've been looking for an apposite topic to come along to impel me to dig deep into the earth and yank this simian site out of the grave and back to life, like a euthunised chicken.

Now, there obviously has been a lot of earth-shattering news in the past little while. (With a little bit of air-time and ink wasted on the day's minor stories and "news.")

But, when this news tidbit found it's way into my mailbox, it seemed right to revitilize 10K Monkeys with a bit of sobering news.

R.I.P Mr. Barbera. You will be missed.

For those that are interested, Wikipedia has a comprehensive list of all the work that Hanna-Barbera did together. The usual suspects are of course there, but there are a few surprises that I didn't know the two animation masters had their hands in. (Like Pirates of Dark Water, which helped foster my childhood love of pirates and pathological fear of living, malicious water.)

So, I leave you with this, good friends.



Sneak preview: I'm going to see if I can get this other primates posting again. I think I can get Kendrick riled up about something.

Regards,

Lilwall

Aren't you going to mention James Brown's death as well? God bless his funk soul.

The end of 2006 is shaping up to be some depressing times.

Hi people!
Christmas Day falls on December 25. It is preceded by Christmas Eve on December 24, and in some countries is followed by Boxing Day on December 26. Some Eastern Orthodox Churches celebrate Christmas on January 7, which corresponds to December 25 on the Julian calendar. December 25 as a birthdate for Jesus is merely traditional, and is not thought to be his actual date of birth.Bye
