content: Judging from space monkeys facial expression I am guessing they are counting bowel movements. Might be a handy sensor for when they send real persia-nauts.

content: They should have put Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in there. A returned space man - he'd now be a state hero. He's at least as intelligent as the monkey.

content: Dear GK:--Indeed they will be sending Imadinnerjacket into the "up and out" as soon as they make a capsule big enough to carry the Organ Grinder and Organ, as well.--In his book "The Right Stuff" Tom Wolfe recounts the first time "Ham" the Chimp Astronaut was unveiled to the press. What with the noise and flash bulbs, Ham panicked and had to be quickly removed and sedated. Wolfe says that Ham, seeing the press "was afraid his handlers were going to throw him to those a**holes"."And much as Wine has played the InfidelAnd robbed me of my robe of Honour, well ...I often wonder what the vintners buyOne half so precious as the stuff they sell""Omar Khyayyam" 1048 - 1131Best RegardsClear Ether

content: Dear GK:--Painful or fun. Please see below the picture of an old traditional Italian (usually) Organ Grinder and his (usually) Capuchin Monkey. The Capuchin Monkeys are so called for the color of brown in their fur, I.E. like Cappucinno. Mymood Iminajihad bears a marked resemblence to a Cebus Capucinus.--When I was a very young boy in Galesburg Illinois circa 1953, I saw some of the last Italian Organ Grinders and their Capuchins, as well as some of the last horse drawn ice wagons. Mark Twain described a "Good Boy" as one who "wouldn't give hot pennies to organ-grinders' monkeys""But leave the Wise to wrangle, and with meThe Quarrel of the Universe let be:And, in some corner of the Hubbub couch'd,Make Game of that which makes as much of Thee."Omar Khyayyam" 1048 1131Best RegardsClear Ether
