Animal Warriors - FIGHT BACK

Happy Super Bowl Sunday Everybody!

Watching these athletes reminded me of a story in December about monkeys trained in the art of Taekwodo who actually attacked their Sensei (or master-pictured above).

A bystander said "I saw one punch him in the eye... It was better than a Bruce Lee film". The Sensei (Mr. Wung) said he was very angry and made his students kneel on the ground with their hands tied behind their backs.

I don't know how I feel about their hands being tied - but who am I to argue with their Sensei? If they don't like it they should stop their karate lessons.

I take Karate lessons - I would never turn against my Karate Master Roy (unless he deserved it - but I wouldn't keep taking lessons from him). Keep this in mind Humans! Just because we are small - we monkeys are great Animal Warriors!

PS: I don't know much about both teams but, I have been to New Orleans, and I loved it. If anyone from Indianapolis is reading, and wants to send me to Indianapolis so I can make a fair and unbiased comparison, you know where to reach me. In the meantime, GO SAINTS!!!

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).

This Guy has decided to use Lusha's Strategy!

FAIL- Rope Swing

Humans are so funny sometimes- Check out this one trying to master the Rope Swing - He could learn a couple of things from us Monkeys!

More enlightening news about Primates - from Humans

You guys never seem to amaze me. Sometimes you come out with such obvious news about primates, and call it news. Sometimes I think its just a slow newsday and since many people don't seem to know much about non-human primates they think it is news.

Well if you would like some obvious news about primates here is another story for you on how chimps (like humans) pay attention to faces - even more than bananas. - From Science Daily - Chimps, Like Humans, Focus On Faces

And here is another story where they asked one chimp (Sakura) if she preferred easy listening music (like the Carpenters) to heavy metal music (like Metallica) - and she did. So now you guys think all chimps (and possibly other primates) think the same way.

I suggest that just because one chimp prefers one kind of music to the other, it doesn't mean they all do. Do you all like "I gotta Feeling" by the Black Eyed Peas because its number 1 on the Billboard Music Charts? Or should I just ask some people on the streets what they prefer and assume you all prefer whoever they tell me?

Also is it just me or has there been a lot of stories lately about Chimps?

Peel a Banana Like a Monkey? From a Human?

Really?? I don't know what to say about this:

http://video.yahoo.com/network/100000089?v=5485051&l=100022574

LEarn to peel a banana like a monkey from a human?!? I guess I will have to show you guys how to really do it!

I wanted you all to hear about it from me, as the video seems to be making the rounds on the internets.

The problem here really is that the video simply demonstrates one of the many ways to peel a banana - calling it the "monkey style". Not really how we do it. I'm not to sure you should be using the internet if you have to look up "how to peel a banana".

Until I get my video up stick to your wiki's: http://www.wikihow.com/Peel-a-Banana, your banana phones: http://www.albinoblacksheep.com/flash/badgerphone, and your banana suits: http://www.prankplace.com/costume_banana.htm
