This gorilla face close up is now my phone wallpaper.

What fun!? Never saw this episode of SpongeBob SquarePants until the other day. Was pleased to see the gorilla suit. Monkeys are everywhere!

A friend posted this sketch on Facebook today. You may not notice at first that there's a monkey in this drawing. Keep looking. Get a better look.

The original armature of the original King Kong (from the 1933 film) has sold at a Christie's auction for 121,250 pounds. Why, that's over 60 tons! ;)

Kuddly Kong

2 Varieties of krappy Kongs made of plush.

These plush Kong dolls were being sold for $4 each at a bargain store near me in Brooklyn. They were so cheaply made I thought it was worth it only to take a couple of pictures.
