Monkey News!

HI Everybody!

I'm sorry it's been so long with updates - but it's been busy for me and I have been helping out a lot of people (a Helper Monkey's Job is never done!). Plus I was out traveling about too. I went to "The Good Land" for a bit, that was nice, and then to Kansas City to meet up with some of my Friends!

But meanwhile during all this craziness there were 2 important monkey stories, both in the exciting field of MONKEY SCIENCE!!! Monkey science is (along with recruiting, information technology, lobbying for monkey rights and fighting crime) one of my specialties, so I want to keep using my blog to bring you the latest in these groundbreaking monkey discoveries and developments.

First one: Scientists have recently discovered that Chimps - as well as other non-human primates don't get Alzheimer like humans do. So they are trying to figure out why that is. Maybe it's because our diets, agility, wrestling ability, cool dance moves or perhaps something else.

Second story: GREEN GLOWING MONKEYS! HAVE GREEN GLOWING BABIES! Weird I know. I don't know how I feel about these "monkeperiments" but it sounds like they are trying to create X-Monkeys - maybe there will be a wolverine monkey??

They claim they are using this process to learn more about infectious diseases and how to cure them - like Parkinson's and ALS.

Google Believes

So I went to Google today instead of Asking my friend Jeeves - I'm not sure why - perhaps my Bones knew something. Anywho I went there and they changed their logo to Ida!

I can't believe it. Since I posted about my story about Ida possibily being the missing link you humans have been looking for (because who wouldn't want to be related to us Monkeys!) some people have argued that it may or may not be the missing link.

Well it looks like Google believes.

Missing Link?

Scientists have discovered what may be the missing link that monkeys, apes and eventually humans split from going in one direction while others became lemurs and other species.

She has been named "Ida", and it seems pretty cool.

hmmmm What could have been?

You humans are so funny. Below is an Article how Monkeys observe others getting prizes and think "What could have been?" and things like that so they could get the prize.

Geez - Of course we do - Who doesn't??
