Thanks for the link, Raq.

I'm too tired this morning to be all analytical about things, but it was interesting.

The Lincoln Park Zoo's new project is teaching monkeys to use the internet. Can't wait to see where this ends up. Madness!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Soon there will be monkeys saying, "Wait a minute - we're supposed to have pants ?"

So far they've determined that the monkeys get frustrated when pages take too long to load.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

I think we should have a stated policy of holding the posting of other primates to the same standards as that of human posters.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

What if they can't find a link anywhere to get back to the home page? That always frustrates me. Also, do the monkeys like lots of flashy blinky stuff, or do they head straight for the "skip intro" link after a quick @@? And what's their stance on search vs. index?

Man, if they'd done this a few years ago, it could've revolutionized the whole usability industry.

What about dolphins?

Yeah, except whenever a program or the OS wanted to give the user an alert, a big flashing banana would appear on the screen.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Dolphins get to use more emoticons than we tolerate from primates. But still, no more than 1 per paragraph.

Their posts need to go through peer review. For values of "peer" that include monkeys.
