About my design
by Rockslide   
10 little monkeys jumping on the bed,
One fell off and broke his head,
Mama called the doctor and the doctor said,
No more monkeys jumping on the bed!

It was a tragedy...and the jumping had been derailed, until- well- "Monkey see, monkey do" and the whole train wreck started again.

Who can identify all 10 monkey species!! I know technically they aren't all "monkeys" but in the common usage of the word- they are. My next STP's to the first to do it correctly!

Rockslide
   Rockslide on Sep 19 '07
Oh you guys are close on naming all the monkeys but not quite there yet.

To keep it fair let's do it clockwise starting with the monkey with the big nose that looks like Clint Eastwood.

(Thanks for all the comments so far!)

Clockwise from Clint:
Proboscis
Orangutan
Japanese Macaque
Whiteface
Squirrel
Gibbon
Hamadryas Baboon
Rhesus
Chimpanzee
And lastly, Dead Monkey (Spider?)
nonolarson
   nonolarson on Sep 20 '07
I think you're right this time betterthanhuman, at least for the Gibbon. Chimpanzees and Bonobos look so similar!

As a point of pedantry, Orangutans, Chimpanzees and Gibbons are Apes, rather than Monkeys.

Now you know, and knowing is half the battle.

Alright, I'm giving the points to betterthanhuman.

He just had the rhesus and the baboon in the wrong place but I can see by my drawing that that's a hard call to make. The baby is supposed to be a baboon. However, amazingly he did get the dead monkey right, its supposed to be a spider monkey- good job!

Hilarious... but some of those are apes, not monkeys (orangutan, bonobo, and chimp). Sorry, I'm an anthropology minor so these silly things tend to bug me. Still, an awesome shirt $4.

GAH. my mom used to tell this to me ALL the time when i was a kid because i always jumped on my bed. it has even more meaning now, since i fell off my bed once and sliced my head open. 6 stitches later, and about 9 years, i'd definitely buy this shirt :D

of the song for those of us who didn't understand
the design when we first saw it.

wait- what!?! I don't have a clue about what is supposed to be risque? I can't even find a comment on 2 risque monkeys. If there is something, it was unintentional.
