Obviously not! Help from a virtual DNA reconstruction....

The monkey is a "Valid Truant"

...well as long as he/she signed the absence book...

I've never tried to be £500
before...

The whole Buisness could be a bit of a wrench, at least, thats what your nephew said.

I feel sheepish

Did some little monkey Fleece you?, well dont go ape! stop woolgathering, and you,ll soon feel 100%.&. (is like)(wool,Tm)

Yes, and an Aussie sheep at that. I had disappeared down a mine-shaft but got ambushed by an evil monkey. As they say I did not hear or see this one, quietly hanging from a wooden roof prop . It jumped on my back, and now I may be on anti-depressants (possibly for life). I feel I have been duped by my travel agent who said (and I quote). 'Never before has this happened to an Australian sheep'. I feel quilty that I am the first, still it could have been worse. I could have taking the lambs on walkabout as well.

These sheep are in good company,

I like the the robin hood one as well.

Apparantly the monkey went up that way, north, looking for R.Hood, when he got to new Castle, they hung him as a frenchman.:(

Yes I think so. Also when they ate the monkey's brains they couldn't tell the difference (between a Frenchman's brains and monkey brains). It was only when they ate other parts did they get suspicious..The cook no half got it that night!!

It has been discovered, after extensive investigation, that certain parts of the body, reflect in their functioning the course of mans evolution.
For example, the Left hand, where the First finger is intimately connected with that part of evolution known as the "Development of an opposable Digit"(opposite to the thumb).
The second, or middle finger, closely reinforces this first opposable development, and is parallel to the thought template,"Formative"
Not Until one contemplates the second smallest finger does one find anything resembling a uniquely Human Development. This is because, if one can move and manipulate movement in this finger, while leaving all the others motionless, then one has neccessarily produced a "Tripartite Thought Form".Palm Up,
Thumb,-------Monkey, fingers1,and 2,--------The Independent.(bend it on its own)--superfluous, pinkie.(for some)

Otherwise known (in some quarters) as 'The Evolution of The Intentional Nose-Picking Human'

Once the nose has been cleared, one can continue with the reprograming of the
breathe/smell, function. Eventually arriving at a state where one smells only when one chooses.(cue unwashed and happily slightly dazed pun)anticipated,

Apparently V1,V2 and V3 concerts are Ok. With perhaps the obvious qualification that you are conscious and fixating.

Ug the caveman had had a bad day. He knew that if he could stop living in the front of his face, and evolve an objective faculty, hed be able to think about the days events, then he could maybe see where he had gone wrong.
Og had also had a bad day, but chose to sit in the cave picking his nose.
Ug evolved.
Og did not.
A likely story.
If an ape could not imagine conciousness, how could it evolve in that direction.

They are better than us with short-term memory....1

Next time I'm in the bookies I'll probably have a double-check to see
who's who behind the counter.

Will you be betting a monkey?:ohdear:
I use to like the 4 colour , beeping game. B.--B,R--BRG---etc, cant remember how high I could get the sequence up to.
The trick people have of remembering strings of numbers by converting them to a picture,--which is a shape of sorts. Id never have guessed that this was a half forgotten skill. but thats how the apes do it, I suspect.

Photographic memory apparently at aged 5 years, but as they get older they become less proficient.Average lifespan: captivity 53 years, wild 60 years?

Id seen this and was speculating at how the monkeys are so quick.
Do you think they convert the 'number string' layout into a shape, (like the music-bar motif) and remember that.

I thought they maybe had like a 'flash memory', where they are able to take in a wider, bigger area of focus. Whereas us humans have to shift our focus about to 'read' all the numbers,letters e.t.c. ,and so lose precious memory time. The movement in focus could interfere with previous memory even though it is very recent.
Then again, perhaps it is just better recall than simply a perceiving problem.

Yes--Also weve been taught to take numbers slowly, "count them" ,because we have to use them properly in other contexts.
I once used to win a lot on a fruit machine with an electric, "find the lady", 4 card test.
The way to beat it was to not follow the cards, but to focus behind the middle two cards, and let your peripheral vision remember the last card to flash.
Use to win a lot.

Interesting. Well done.
I haven't done the fruit machines in the past because a lot of them had very poor payout percentages.
I wonder when the scientists are finished with 'the research' the chimp is taught to play 'other games'. ;)

You mean replace,low wage workers in the construction and service sector?
Im sure its already being considered.
How proud they would be, and only paid bananas. (a little help from dawkins and watson is in order.)

I was thinking of card games, as they require a good or very good short term memory recall. Along to Las Vegas, hustle a few hustlers.

Sounds like a lie dream of a casino soul,

:D Go to Vegas with a wad, come back with peanuts....

"To Be or not to ,wheres my peanuts?"
thats the second time thats happened.

.........I got:'..When shall we meet again, in thunder,lightning or in rain'.

........Mind you, I was paying them by the monkey nut.

I also had Monkey Glas out in all weathers working. I've a photo somewhere. I'll try and find it soon.

Q:What's an ape's favourite book?


A:Grapes of Wrath.

Learnt a new word today,,For primate students,
A biting hatred can be avoided by passing by monkeys, or,
miss anthrapoid. (ant-bite) misanthropy,
(say it softly)

If the universe 'Sprang' into existence-fully formed-starter pack identities already functioning--and you are god--how do you know this??
(answer to be found in the vaudeville cane?)

I have an Ikea.

What about a 'gott-blutt' machine, got to try that one out.

Banana futures are going up.

but according to weather their EEC approved or not the graph line Splits,
buy chinese flag manufacturers, and billy club producers,----each-way bet.

Each-way? Is that the new evolutionary hedgerow banana ?
Bananas for the shorter chimp, French Presidents e.t.c.
