Banana Vending Machine??

WHOA! Dole has made a vending machine that you can get BANANAs from and it's in Japan! So cool! It's the first banana vending machine and its been installed in Shibuya Tokyo near the Hanzomon Line Gate (Japan's subway/metro system). Dole says the bananas have sold out everyday since the machine was put in on June 23rd. It costs 130 yen ($1.45) for a single banana.

Its only the beginning. Soon they will be everywhere and then us monkeys will be more comfortable in the cities- the beginning of the metro-monkey era!

Well it was a hot one today on the East Coast of the United States but let's take a tip from this macaque monkey from Zhengzhou in the Henan province of China and lick some ice lollys! Its a good way to keep cool.

Techno-Best Friends!

As a tech-savvy monkey I know how important technology can be for enabling us monkeys! (and people and dogs too!) Check out this video of two best friends (a monkey and dog) where technology helps their friendship!

Thumbs UP! Way UP!

Did you see Disney/Pixars movie "UP"? Well if not you should check it out. But for Jonathan Trappe he saw it and got inspired. He tied a lot of balloons to a wicker chair-sans house and floated across the English Channel from the UK to France. Now he may not have gone as far or as high as Carl from UP but its a good first step I think.

It's Human Afterall!!

Last year scientists discovered a skeleton named Ardi that they thought may have been the missing link between humans and non-human primates. Now scientists are thinking that maybe this skeleton is really an early human and not a missing link.

Shia LaBeouf Blames Monkeys!

Everyone knows what a Big Fan I am of Indiana Jones and all of his Adventures. His movies his attractions at the Disney Parks and his hats. Well I liked the last Indiana Jones movie and I especially liked the fact that monkeys were in it.

But Shia LaBeouf (who played Indy's son (I think I would have done a better job) says that there were problems with the movie and he blames lots of people and the monkeys! Sir -I see that you also blame people in the Transformers movies as well (a movie I had just seen) but there were no monkeys to blame. So maybe the problem is you Sir and not the monkeys!

Good Day!
