Baboons are primates, but they are not monkeys.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
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.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
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.

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

I am not sure that would help you out. FYI, you can just delete things, ijs.
