It all started with Donkey Kong... and snowballed from there. yes, the monkey - the most celebrated primate in video games. Not only were there countless video games starring the Kongs, but there was also the classic Monkey Island series, Monkey Hero, a fantastic game called Monkey Puncher (it's not as immoral as it sounds) and many more.

Ok, so it's not exactly a long history, I just wanted an excuse to start a topic with the word 'monkey' in it. Please, share your views with me on the earth's greatest hairy ape - the monkey.

No, no, no. All the monkeys will do is sit there surfing the Net, downloading ripped-off MP3s of Bananarama's Greatest Hits...

Any fool could work that out!

Isn't that how they made Tekken?

Anyway, it'd never work. Most monkey's don't live 1000 years. They'd all just be too busy drinking PG tips anyway..

PG Tips just makes the monkeys lose their fashion sense and tell terrible jokes.

Armitage, you are not a monkey. You are higher up the evelotionry scale than that. If you need further help clarifying your spieces, please send me money.

Thanks Cheese... but I was thinking more in the line that I have a terrible fashion sense and tell terrible jokes! :)
