Year of the Monkey is, without doubt, the best year.

(Another insightful comment brought to you by the fine folks inside Matthew’s head)

I hear they think that in China, too. Expectant mothers have been trying to stave off childbirth so their kidsos would be Monkey babies instead of whatever it was last week.

I have finally come to a conclusion regarding the question of where I saw this creature earlier today. Apparently someone had posted it on my mirror this morning when I got up…

Ah…are you sure about that? Or are you just rationalizing? :)

And it’s from the BBC’s “the day in pictures” feature—it’s in the Edinburgh zoo.

Monkeys are cute, but that one is creeping me out. Don’t know why! Just a little creepy, K.

Bah! Embrace your inner monkey!

Last year was Year of the Goat. I like goats better than monkeys, personally, but I can see why most people don’t.

If goats could brachiate, maybe I’d see your point of view. As ‘tis, I must indicate the monkey as Winner.

However, the Tiger is king of beasts. Or maybe Empress.
