This is serious science, so let's have no monkeying around on this thread!

[nuconvert]

Good luck!

[GodBlessRonaldReagan]

Sounds like those monkeys need a good spanking.

[RichInOC]

Yeah...but will they pay for monkey lap-dances?

[Fresh Wind]

The monkeys provide "an excellent model for how social motivation for looking is processed in normal individuals," Platt said. "And, it's a model that we can use to explore the neurophysiological mechanisms of those motivations in a way we can't do in humans. For example, we can use drugs that affect specific neural processes to explore whether we can mimic some of the deficits found in autism in these animals."

My apologies. This has to be posted.

"What's this about female Monkees?"

[Snapple]

Proof men are animals!

Monkey Butt research Institute at Duke University....Sounds impressive....must keep somebody employed.....

Man oh man, I am going to make a fortune off of monkey porn.

[digger48]

Ah, the Genesis of the best weekend thread.

[durasell]

Very oddly, there have been no banana jokes on this thread....

[sierrahome]

So...is that a banana in your pocket or are you glad to see me!

[samtheman]

I wonder if they pay extra if the monkey-model is wearing black panty-hose?

[Cagey]

Kramer: Yeah, but before I met up with her, I stopped to look at the monkeys,
when all of a sudden I am hit in the face with a banana peel. I turn and look
and there is this monkey really laughing it up. Then someone tells me that he
did it. Well, I pick up the banana peel and I wait for that monkey to turn
around. And then I *whap* let him have it.

Jerry: Kramer, you threw a banana peel at a monkey?

Kramer: Well, he started it!

Jerry: It's a monkey, Kramer!

Kramer: Well, he pushed my buttons, I couldn't help it, Jerry.

Jerry: Well, I still think it's wrong.

Kramer: Alright, alright, fine. You take the monkey's side, alright, go ahead.

Jerry: I'm not taking anyone's side.

Been to a lot of zoos over the years with the kids. Have NEVER seen monkeys that weren't doodling with themselves or one another. Sheesh. Oh the many carefully crafted answers to kids' questions and the diverting of attention...

[R. Scott]

Prostitution among monkeys has been known for a long time, why not porn?

[melbell]

You are right! This new discovery is very series and hugh!

Not to mention stuning!

Continuing with our monkeyporn theme, let's recall a boat named 'Monkey Business' and a bimbo-turned-anti-porn-crusader:

Caught with 1988's Democratic Presidential nomination shoe-in on the aptly named yacht 'Monkey Business' Gary Hart's skirt, Donna Rice, went on to an ironic career campaigning against porn, some time after the Playboy shoot to be sure, while Gary lost the 'Heart' to continue the campaign for the Democratic nomination he led by 20 pts. He of course humiliated himself during the Clinton years whining 'well he got laid' as if that excused chasing skirts before you win the election. I read this article and the image of a 'Monkey' crapping into his hands to throw at passersby at the Zoo stuck firmly in my mind throughout... the moronic repetition of discredited anti-War-Bushisms post war demonstrates the man's career currently consists of nothing but performing like a Monkey at the Dummocrit Zoo to deflect attention from their party's lack of 'leadership'.
