Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
So far they've determined that the monkeys get frustrated when pages take too long to load.
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.
I think we should have a stated policy of holding the posting of other primates to the same standards as that of human posters.
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.
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.
Should we take this to Bureau?
You never want to get the monkeys started in bureaucracy. I mean, at our very lowest moments, we've never gone beyond metaphorical shit-flinging.

I was babysitting my friend's then three year old one day. She went online to a Dora the Explorer site. While it was loading (quickly, mind you) she was impatiently tapping the mouse, muttering "c'mon, c'mon." It was very funny.
I have a nyquil hangover. It isn't pretty . I should have taken it much earlier.
Scientists working on cure for gassy cows
LONDON - Cows belching and breaking wind cause methane pollution, but British scientists say they have developed a diet to make pastures smell like roses — almost.
“In some experiments we get a 70 percent decrease (in methane emissions), which is quite staggering,” biochemist John Wallace told Reuters in a telephone interview.
...
A 12-month commercial and scientific evaluation of the additive has just begun, but he said if it proves successful it could be a boon to cutting down on greenhouse gas emissions.
“In total around 14 percent of global methane comes from the guts of farm animals. It is worth doing something about,” Wallace said. Other big sources of methane are landfills, coal mines, rice paddies and bogs.
...
In New Zealand the government in 2003 proposed a flatulence tax, with methane emitted by farm animals responsible for more than half the country’s greenhouse gases. The plan was ultimately withdrawn after widespread protests.
No, this is not an Onion story....
Plus, I am now earwormed with "I'm the flatulence tax man...."
Does anyone have a good recipe for vegan cookies/brownies/other baked goods? My hairdresser is vegan, and therefore misses out on partaking of a lot of the baked gifts that other salon patrons bring in as holiday gifts.
I swear, you are the sweetest woman in the world.
