The Independent both noticed that while the monkey seen in press shots had a prominent mole over one eye, there was no sign of it when the animal appeared later at a press conference
The Iranian space people might have found a means to removing moles from faces, and they could be soon offering shots into space for people who need to have moles removed.

The animated bear originally selected for the mission was caught trying to escape.

All they need is a Scud missile aimed straight up and two monkeys.
Based on the range of a scud, if you shoot it straight up it will go high enough to qualify as "space" and then come down again. Hard.
That's when the second monkey will prove useful.
I'm in full support of Ahmadinejad manning their second launch. But with our luck they probably have two of him also.
