Monkey Astronauts NASA decided to send a shuttle into space with two monkeys and an astronaut on board. After months of training, they placed all three in the shuttle and prepared for launch. Mission Control Center announced, "This is Mission Control to Monkey One. Do your stuff." The first monkey began frantically typing and the shuttle took off. Two hours later, NASA's mission control center announced, "This is Mission Control to Monkey Two. Do your stuff." The second monkey started typing like mad and the shuttle separated from the empty fuel tanks. Another two hours later Mission Control Center announced, "This is Mission Control to Astronaut... " At this, the astronaut shouted "I know, I know -- feed the monkeys and don't touch anything."
The Monkey Stout I depicted is brewed by Cameron's, based in Hartlepool in the north east of England. It is a nod to a tale relating to war between the English and French when a French ship ran aground off the Durham coast. The only survivor was the ship's monkey, which was tried as a French spy and hanged. People from the town are known as Monkey Hangers and the mascot of the local football club is a monkey called H'Angus. Even more bizarrely, the mascot stood for election as mayor and won!
I get a bit upset when I hear the words,"There just unthinking animals". How can anyone who gives even a little observation to animals not see that they think? I love to watch as even my garden lizards stare at me with curiosity in their eyes. The first picture is for @Chrissy Page , and the other is for the thread. Is that wonder I see in their eyes or what?
