Monkey Phone Call

Monkey phone calls are a lot better than turtle phone calls; with the turtle phone calls, all you get is a lot of heavy breathing. In Oregon, a friend took me to the Yerkes Monkey Go-Kart Track. I was fully expecting to see monkeys zooming around on go-karts, but it turned out to be an abondoned go-kart track with cages of monkeys in the in-field, and a primate psychologist living in the refreshment stand. The monkeys were kept in groups of from 2 to 5 in a group, and the observer watched and recorded their activities and monkeyshines. They didn't have any telephones, evidently being held incommunicado.

I do rule.

Pop rules OK

what the frig is a monkey phonecall? is it where: you call someone, and make screaming monkey noises at them down the line?

I was going to be a barrister, but the skills i learned in law-school would be equally applicable to this job, methinks (and the pay better!)

Sign me Up!!!

It's all explained on the monkey phonecall site.

I have to say when I grow up I would like my children to buy me a monkey phonecall for fathers day.

That, and a keg of beer. And a topless shoeshine.

i had a look but it was not self-explanatory

"Eeeee ooooo eeeeee whoooo eeeeee oooooo eeeeeeeeeeee whooooo eeeeeeeee oooooooooooo eeeeeeee!"

Someone calls you up and makes monkey noises at you.

Hope you checked out the Origami Boulder site:

what's a bonobo?

A friend once told me that a group of scientists traied orangutans to answer a phone, say "boouh," then hang up.

A troop of chimps was taught sign language. The troop taught it's offspring signlanguage. I think this is really cool.

But wait, there's more! Young sloths are so inept, they grabe their own limbs and fall out of trees.

Bonobos are a sort of chimp, but with differences.Bonobos are like the sex freaks of the primate world, also their social groups are more matriarchal than most. Man used to be said to be the "tool using ape," but other primates use tools, also. One bunch of chimps, they eat nuts that are hard to crack, so they have made nut-cracking rocks that are good for the purpose. The chimps have favorite stones, and pass them on to progeny, heirloom tools, as well as showing where to find that kind of rock for new toolmaking.

i thought *I* was the sex freak of the primate world... guess it just shows

One thing, a chimp handler said that he often kissed chimps, but was surprised when he kissed a bonobo; bonobos use tongue!
