My kingdom for a nap! I am the anti-ita, all hopped down on protein and carbs. I'm about two grains of consciousness away from doing a faceplant into the keyboard for only the second time since I started this job 13 years ago.

Natter .44 Magnum: Do You Feel Chatty, Punk?
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.
Baboons are primates, but they are not monkeys.
Too much crappy chocolate, green tea, and a Coke.
Before that, I was you, JZ.
eta: thanks, Suela. I will file them with the chimpanzees.

Your filing is so much more fun than mine.
My day at home has been pretty useless. I have uploaded music to my iTunes and have watched stuff off my DVR, that's it.
If only you knew the extent of the primate shenanigans, JZ. If only.
Vague memory says that 'prehensile tail' is one of the prime monkey attributes, so baboons get to occupy the less-heralded "lesser ape" category.
IIRC, only the new-world monkeys have prehensile tails.
Baboons have canidlike faces. Totally an upgrade. Shame about the naked bottoms, though.
Msbelle, would you like to come over and clear up my TiVo? Much Miami Vice and British mystery.
amych is right about the prehensile tails, which is one of the reasons why primatologists should not watch The Jungle Book.
