Monkeys Typing Shakespeare

I heard that Japan doesn’t have the same kind of liability torts that we have in the US.  After seeing this clip, I’m bound to agree.  Good freakin’ grief!  That woman is going to need a lot of therapy for a long, long time.  Don’t you just want to give her a hug and say, “there, there” while stifling a teenie, tiny laugh and marveling at the entire spectacle?  Wow!  No monkeys but lots of crazy antics.

Who do you think will win?

This monkey plays a dangerous game of cat and mouse, er, monkey:

Another video take on one of our favorite songs (with Darth Vader goodness):

Here’s a cool take on one of our favorite subjects.

The monkeys went wild when they watched this video. There are no monkeys in it but it’s about one of the funniest things we’ve ever seen. My gut still hurts.

Give it a minute before you tap out.  It’s worth the watch.

Considering the recent mess we faced when returning to the institute after a two year hiatus, the few remaining monkeys and I sat down to discuss disaster planning. Bongo made it clear that anything less than a full bowl of banana gruel was a disaster. When I tried to explain that I was talking about a disaster like an earthquake or terrorist attack I ended up with a faceful of soupy bananas. Bongo can be very frustrating some times but I know he loves me.

After running through an 800-slide PowerPoint presentation I had prepared last night we got to work securing the building, backing up the remaining computers, tying down the typewriters and creating lists of our contacts.

It was then that I realized we had not replaced the anti-poo screens for the monitors and the poo guards on the keyboards. Too late. Bongo sat in the middle of the typing pen having just “painted” several of the new computers we had just acquired. The look on his face seemed to scream “bet you didn’t think of THAT disaster, monkey boy!”

Actually, that wasn’t Bongo screaming it with his face, it was my wife standing behind him. Oh well, off to have my back shaved. I’ll have an update soon on our monkey recovery efforts. In the meantime, please keep your eyes open for any typing monkeys.

He mentions evolution, he sings part of the song like a monkey, he mentions Darwin and he uses big words. What else is there?

From a recent Exploratorium e-newsletter:

DID YOU KNOW?
…that your brain is three-fourths water? A normal human brain is about 75% water, approximately the percentage you’d find in an average banana.
