Words of Wisdon from Richard Wagner

Based on what humans have done to our planet, I wonder if Richard Wagner's words are still true.

Perhaps Planet of the Apes would be an upgrade!

Alexis Barbot's Monkeys

I have a young friend in Vancouver, British Columbia named Alexis Barbot. Here is Alexis's monkey collection.

Alexis has created some animated cartoon which are quite sophisticated for someone so young (10 years old). You can view one of them at The Monkey (Jougo) and The Beast. Alexis has even created a website - Jougo the Monkey. That's pretty impressive for a 10 year old. At that age, I could barely operate a can opener!

I was in Montreal, Quebec in February of this year. It was -20 degrees F when I visited. That is c-c-c-c-c-cold! I don't know how people can live in a place that gets so cold. But I guess that you get used to it. When I came back to New Jersey, 30 degrees F seemed like a heat wave.

I wish Alexis continued success with his animation career!

Will Liechtenstein Conference Deny the Existence of the Kong-ocost?

Today Liechtenstein one of the world's smallest countries, announced a Conference to examine whether The Kong-ocost (King Kong's 1933 rampage through New York City) ever really happened. The meeting is scheduled for February 2007. The announcement drew angry protests from some elderly New Yorkers.

Simon Plotsky, 96, voiced his objections. "We were there and saw with our own eyes what that monkey did to our city! It was Horrible! Horrible! We should never forget!" When Simon was asked where he lived in New York at the time of the incident, he could not remember. He also couldn't remember where he lives now.

CNN Reporter Mindy Lee spoke with Hans Frichter, the President (and also Mayor and Police Chief) of Liechtenstein about the meeting. Mr. Frichter said "We are a small country with limited income. Postage stamp sales to collectors have dropped off sharply in the past 10 years because of e-mails and the internet. Iran brought in a bundle of tourist dollars with their Denial Conference. Why shouldn't we cash in as well?"

When Miss Lee pointed out that King Kong was just a movie, not a real event, Mr. Frichter commented "Well, that is yet to be determined. You should come to the Conference and find out. I can get you a good deal on a hotel! Breakfast is included!"

Reaction to the Conference from the monkey world has been positive. P Monkey faithful sidekick of LonelyGirl15 said "The media should pay more attention to primate issues. After all, we've been around a lot longer than you humans!" The Bronx Zoo's Monkey and Ape Coalition also voiced support for the Conference. Spokesman Bongo Bongo (a 10 year old orangutan) commented "It's time to stop blaming us for the decline of Western Civilization. It's been more than 100 years since Darwin's book came out. Get over it!"

Hotel bookings and airline reservations for the tiny country have risen sharply. Mr Frichter is hoping for a slow news week, to increase press coverage. Or as he put it, "If nobody gets blown up, then Cha-Ching!"
