Monkeys. Why are people on this site seemingly obsessed with them? I don't understand it. We have a monkey_man, Monkey with Attitude, Grease Monkey and The Iron Monkey. Someone's tagline (you know who you are) is 'mmm...monkeys'. There is a 'crew' in the PS2 forum called 'The Funky Monkeyz'.

What is the obsession with our simian friends?

Could someone please explain. Preferably a psychologist.

I can't help it, I was born a monkey, and the only way I could change that is through a very painfull and expensive operation.
I have however managed to teach myself to read and write, and will soon master the art of drinking tea (like some of my cousins that were in those PG tips ads).

For an mpeg of me when I was slightly less educated, go to:

Ah, come on.
They can eat stuff with their feet. And scratch themselves.

A perfect idol to all blokes.

Monkeys pick ants out of each other's fur and eat them for breakfast

Monkeys "own" ants

only because Ants are so small, they'd be all over the monkeys...

I'm off to set up a training program for monkeys to train them in chemical warfare!

They can beat the Ants if we give em insect spray :D

Ants could beat Monkeys in a fight. No trouble at all.

In fact, we are devouring one of monkey_man's army right now. Surprisingly, they taste like sugar, which is good enough for us.

Go to the below link for easy access to a monkey god, which should (in a strange sort of way) help you to understand why we are so obsessed with monkeys:

Well, that maybe so, the real funny thing is that it consisted of people that didnt even really post in there, which made that rather strange, and even more stupid.

Kids eh?

They have a greater intellect than 80% of the users of these forums. I think monkeys deserve some credit for that.

I don't look like a rasta, my name isn't Billy and I'm not skanky... Well... not much anyway. So my name has no relevance.
