A reader informed me that Penn Jillette of Penn & Teller - entertainers I really enjoy - mentioned my practical joke Your New Monkey on the October 3 "Monkey Tuesday" segment of his radio show.
Apparently we share a mutual appreciation for monkey humor.
Amazing how quickly stuff gets around the inter-net these days.

Penn & Teller's very enjoyable TV series Bullshit.

Haha, that's great news Brian. I love Penn and I've just finished watching the entire first season of Bullshit - that's a fantastic plug and a fantastic prank.

He passed right over my favorite part.
"...You can determine the monkey’s mood by studying their faces and looking them in the eye"
Immediately followed by:
"Avoid eye contact with a monkey. They will view this as a “challenge” and attack."

Anything that puts the monkey above humankind is a sign of progress
