Default Martian Monkey Business

Monkey from Mars
Nice little article about a 55 year old hoax made with a dead monkey and now part of Georgia's state bureau of investigation's museum.

Hrm, the poll on the site is pretty unsatisfactory.

Quote:
Do you believe in UFOs and extra-terrestrial life forms?
[ ]Yes, we are not alone.
[ ]No, these ideas are crazy.
Where's the "Yes, I believe we're not alone, no, I don't think they're visiting us" option?
It's grotesque!

Oh, and there's a dead monkey in a jar.

And don't forget the 4th option with those 2 concepts:
I believe in UFO's but not in ET life.

I liked the monkey in the jar. It was charmingly distrubing.

Whoever says "perception is reality" is daft. It's merely an abstraction, and often not a very good one.

They should treat that monkey with a little more respect. His kind are who is responsible for the "Monuments of Mars".
