I'd like to point out that some of the monkeys on monkeysuicide.com, which chronicles in photos the demise of sock monkeys by various methods, were clearly murdered. Death by Optimus Prime sticking a gun in your mouth? How's that suicide?

Is everyone watching planet earth on the Discovery channel? I've been consistently stunned by these things. Even when it's a subject like "Great Plains" and I think I won't be interested I see something amazing. Not only are they showing things that I've never seen before - and I'm a veteran nature documentary watcher - they're filming them exquisitely. The action shots are spot on. Other shots are so mesmerizing I'm convinced this show is a massive hit among stoners. They've turned nature into a special effect, and I don't mean that to sound cheap because, let's face it, special effects are cool.

Let me put it this way. A couple of weeks ago I saw a completely serviceable documentary on PBS' Nature series about scientists searching for a giant (20+ feet) crocidile. They didn't find any and the show was mostly about the people and the not finding. People don't appear in planet earth and they seem to find everything weird and beautiful that you want to see. For an hour, nature is powerful and dominant and lush and in focus.

If you can, try to catch the one with the Gelada monkeys that play and tackle each other while on near-vertical cliffs.

You just wait Wild chimps seen using weapons. Of course, it wasn't a pistol. Yet. Also, they used weapons to hunt, not to settle bets so they have some work to do.

When you're done with your sock monkeys, make a dress out of them.

(Wait, are you ever done with a sock monkey? It's not like they break or anything ...)

Bobo the Monkey Tank Goes to Mongolia
You might think it's a bedtime story I made up for the babies, but it's actual news! Which may end up being converted into a bedtime story for the babies.

Humanzee
All I can think is that there must have been some Helena Bonham Carter-ish proto-chimps back when the proto-humans were broadening their horizons, so to speak.

Bear vs. Monkey
I don't know why but this article made me think that it's time to update Rock-Paper-Scissors and do Bear-Monkey-Shark or something like that. Bear obviously beats Monkey. Monkey would beat Shark (sharks would be helpless in the jungle, totally unable to swing through the trees -- and I never heard of Shark Kung Fu). Bear vs. Shark is tricky though ... can anything beat Bear? Bears can swim and, if dolphins can beat sharks, I'm sure a bear would maul a shark. Maybe the game should be Bear-Monkey-Ditka?
