They found a new species of monkey. The Cacajao ayresii. Named caca due to its efficient poo throwing abilities no doubt. From NewScientist:
He does have that “Holy crap! They found me!” look to him.
If this monkey looks bewildered, it could be because of the excitement it has generated among biologists. A uacari monkey living in [...]

Nobody likes needles, least of all monkeys…
No. They don’t shoot heroin, they smoke dope!
…which is why Werribee Zoo opt for sedation when it’s time for the tricky business of giving the creatures medical checks.

First of all, I would just like to say the monkey's aren't mean. Only the flying monkeys are. But they are just plain evil.If you read that old post you will realize what I'm talking about.Flying monkeys also have a bad sense of humor. I don't mean to rant on their pure evilness, but I have to get this point across! It's an obsession...It seems that every time I meet a flying monkey something stupid happens. Take yesterday for example:-Begin Conversation-Flying Monkey: Jay, you can just suck my big fat banana!Me: WTF?! I am not sucking no banana!!Flying Monkey: Why not? It's just a fruit!Me: Oh! I thought you meant--Flying Monkey: Meant what? We aren't messed up like that!Me: I'm glad! For a second there I thought I was in trouble..Flying Monkey: So what do you say?Me: Say to what?Flying Monkey: ...Sucking my banana?Me: Heck no!!!!!! What's wrong with you?!-End Conversation-To make things worse, after I walked away some dude in a banana costume came up and started dancing. Pardon my Fr
The monkey population is breeding the perfect monkeys. In fact, Live Science has picked the Macaque monkey as the best multipurpose monkey. And as our stories often highlight, the Macaque monkeys cause the most problems.
From Live Science:
A macaque is a really good, general purpose, sort of monkey.
Macaques are also the monkeys that people know the [...]

Recently the researchers at Duke University Medical Center have used a monkey’s brain activity (thoughts) to control a robot on the other side of the globe(US-Japan). In what researchers found as a first-of-its-kind experiment, monkeys’ thoughts in US controlled the real walking patterns of a robot in Japan (synchronization).
They can walk in complete synchronization,” said Dr. [...]
Far off, in a remote and mountainous region of China, monkeys deftly climb trees to pluck tea leaves as they have done for generations. Though today some teas labeled "monkey picked" are actually conventionally harvested ("monkey picked" instead refers to the high quality), there is still one village still producing this unique tea. Edible Online sells this rare wild Chinese tea and it's also available on ThinkGeek.com. Both sites clearly state that no monkeys are harmed or mistreated in the process of picking the leaves. (I'm not sure what their 401k's are like or if there is a good dental program) Since I enjoy a good cup of tea, so I'm thinking of purchasing some to see if I can taste the monkey business. For comparison, I'll be ordering some Monkey Picked tea from Tevana, a tea shop my mom frequents. The Tevana tea is not picked by monkeys at all so we'll see how it stands up in the taste te
From Health & Science - International Herald Tribune:
For the first time, brain signals have been used to make a robot walk. If Idoya could talk, she would have plenty to boast about. On Thursday, the 12-pound, 32-inch monkey made a 200-pound, 5-foot humanoid robot walk o
Finally the word is slowly getting out that maybe these punkeys (punk-monkeys) need to be dealt with. As this article at the Telegraph explains, to be a good chimp, you need to have good role models:
Historically, scientists believed that differences in behavior between communities of chimpanzees were due to variations in genetics.
More recently, there has [...]

Tea is boring! I want bananas handpicked and pre-chewed by monkey ..yummy.
The wind blows the blossoms in the garden. The monk breathes in. The air is crisp; the world is good. The only thing missing is some tea. Alas, the tea tree branches are too high and the mountain face is too steep. He stops [...]
Coffee connoisseurs are going ape for a rare brew that Taiwanese farmers are producing with the help of monkeys. Formosan rock monkeys have long been a scourge to coffee farmers in Taiwan's mountains because they eat the ripe berries and spit out the seeds. But now, the farmers are collecting these half-chewed seeds and roasting them to produce a coffee that is being brewed all over the island. Coffee farmer Liao Jingdong tried to roast beans which had been spat out by monkeys and discovered a unique taste, different from the original. Liao says the discarded seeds yield a sweeter coffee with a vanilla-like scent, which sells for about $56 a pound (450 grams). FOR MORE VISIT DESI FUNDOO... A FUN FILLED FUNDOO FORUM...

Was sent this peice of primate propaganda for christmas.

This story highlights a devious subtle plot by monkeys to make us dependant on them for income, thus insuring their survival and allowing them to learn from us so they can find our weaknesses, only to exploit them at a later time. Actually it’s quite genius on their parts, making that much more scary! From [...]
Can monkeys be jealous? They want to take over the world so I’m going to say a profound “YES!”. But let this article from the Harvard Crimson (oooh Ivy league!) explain:

More proof that monkeys are getting smarter. From US News and World Report:

Scientists at Kyoto University report that 5-year-old chimpanzees have better short-term memory than college students. Once the chimps get older and learn to enjoy weekend binge drinking, recreational drugs, and staying up all night drinking Red Bull while listening to AFI and pretending to study, the difference levels out.
A startling development has occurred. The monkey menace has upped the ante, with the help of unsuspecting human stooges. From NewScientist.com:
With the ultimate aim of allowing paralyzed people to walk again, a team at Duke University in Durham implanted electrodes in the brains of two rhesus macaques and analyzed the electrical signals that drive their [...]

Talk about strange bedfellows. These two unlikely pals reside in Goangdong Province, China, and have been virtually inseparable since the pigeon pretty much adopted the macaque monkey when he was only 12 weeks old. It seems that the macaque was abandoned by his mum, who preferred to party the night away rather than care for her babies. (Are you paying attention Britney?)
After he was abandoned,

The island of Bali. A bewildering patchwork of colours and contrasts. An intricate Hindu civilisation prospers based on a strong belief in the cosmic cycles of the gods. Temples dominate the Balinese landscape. Strangely these places of worship are protected by troops. Troops of monkeys the sacred descendants of an all powerful monkey god named Hanuman.On Bali's rugged west coast at the temple of Ulawatu, the monkeys take human form, they are the chorus and heroes of the Kechak or monkey dance. In the monkey dance the divine Prince Rama and his beautiful wife Sita are the central characters of the great Hindu epic the Ramayana.
One day while in the forest a golden deer appears before them. Rama sets off stalking it through the forest. But Sita left alone in a magic circle of protection receives an unwelcome visitor. Rawana a monster of wickedness and lechery. He attempts to break the circle and kidnap the terrified Sita. He succeeds and carries her off to this evil kingdom of demons

In particular, look at the face of the monkey. If that pure, sweet emotion doesn't speak volumes to you, than perhaps your heart and your soul need a bit of cleaning, my dears.

Remember when I told you I was growing my own Sea Monkeys? And then they started to hatch? Well, I have a little bit of bad news to report about my Sea Monkeys. I hope you will not think poorly of me when you learn this. I am a little bit sad. See, the directions say:DO NOT OVERFEED. Overfeeding is the most common reason for Sea Monkey deaths! Cloudy green water means too much uneaten food. This uneaten food consumes oxygen and causes the Sea Monkeys to suffocate, the poor little things. Better to have skinny and healthy Sea Monkeys than an overfed one in a coma.So, I was trying to be a responsible pet owner and follow directions. But look! Some of my Sea Monkeys died!!! That black speck is the body of one of my Sea Monkeys. I guess he will have a burial at sea. I do not know if I fed them too much or too little. Or maybe I did not aerate them enough.I have only four pets remaining. Do you want to know their names? Number 1 is called Jeter, because he likes to do funny thing
