    Ha ha, Monkey Jesus.

    He is not the messiah – he is a very naughty boy!

  4. Matt says:

    ha ha, The Life of Brian. Should watch that movie again.

    Those are some good spots to come across.

    I wonder if “The Face On Mars” considers these his ancestors…

    As a trusted TV personality, I can be helpful in rounding up others to toil in their underground banana caves.

  7. Alex says:

    Soror was the name the visiting humans gave the Planet of the apes. :-)

  8. Timhogs says:

    I need to get out more…
