The Chimpcam Project

Well I know we monkeys have made movies - But apparently some chimps are going to start to get in the game.

"The Chimpcam Project" is a documentary shot by actual chimpanzees and it will premiere this week. Some researches made a "chimp proof" camera and gave to a bunch of chimps that both live in the wild and in the zoo.

Check out the Trailer:

The Password Is...

Hi Everybody! I know how much everyone loves us monkeys but you can't use "monkey" as a password. Its just to darn simple for those hackers to break into your account.

It was only listed as number 14 on the list of Popular passwords - but that's good. If you need to remember your love of monkeys - please just print out a picture of yours-truly rather than using "monkey" as your password.

Thanks to Little D for showing me this story as well as yesterdays story.

Lusha - The stock picking Chimp!

Hi Everybody - it's me - MoJo - and this (above) is Lusha!

Lusha is a five-year-old Russian chimpanzee who is a circus performer and part-time stock analyst. She has beaten the rest of the country's investment funds by over 94%! Last year she picked 8 stocks and combined they have soared over 300% in value (that's a lot of monies)

That's awesome - good job Lusha!

She contends that it is just a hobby despite some offers from local investment houses and is sticking to the circus (and blowing bubbles).

Gorilla Glass-Unbreakable

We all know how strong a Gorilla can be (see above) - and you can imagine how bad it could be if you broke your mobile phone (with its glass screen). But what if your glass was made strong enough that even a gorilla (or maybe a bear) couldn't break it?

Baby, It's Cold Outside

I don't know about where you guys have been lately but where I've been (the North East United States) it's been cold outside! And its not going to get any warmer with another large Arctic blast passing through the country.

Well if you are not sure how to stay warm take a tip from these monkeys! During a cold and foggy morning at the Dhaka Zoo in Dhaka, Bangladesh these monkeys cuddled together to stay warm.

Because of the cold wave in the area there have been 6 cold related deaths and even an outbreak of cold related diseases. That's horrible news - so stick together guys! We monkeys are excellent cuddlers ; )

So you heard it right here folks - If you are Cold: START CUDDLING!

The Strawberry Crab!

This picture was released from the National Taiwan Ocean University - its of a new species of crab! (They call it a Neoliomera Pubescens something or other but I call it the "Strawberry Crab")

It was discovered off the coast of Southern Taiwan - Pretty Cool. I wonder if its related to the Christmas Crab?

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Season's Greetings, everybody!! Happy New Year!!

My New Year's Resolution this year was to grow a mustache -- and I have succeeded already!!


I think it makes me look like a very sophisticated monkey -- don't you?! I'm already experimenting with different ways to style it.


I am now trying to decide what to do with my new mustache: kidnap Nell and tie her to the railroad tracks, or form the first ever barbershop quartet FOR MONKEYS!! What do you think?
