yunnan snub-nosed monkey. be prepared.
i’m watching the travel china. it’s china week. china is a fucking fascinating place, so this is GREAT. i <3 china week. i also love love love monkeys. most people know this. this monkey, shown on the travel channel’s “wild america,” is one freaky ass bitch. sorry monkey. you just are.
(yunnan snub-nosed monkey. that’s right. he has no fucking nose.)
speaking of monkeys… random story:
jenny, my ex-co-worker… her husband and his friends had a monkey!!! four of them had one. before the monkey, it was two people each in two rooms. after the monkey, it was monkey in one room and four people in the other room. AWESOME.
this show is blowing my mind, and here are some of the reasons why:
1) bamboo can grow up to three feet a day. WTF.
2) every, oh i don’t know, million years or so a bamboo jungle will flower, and when they flower, that entire forest will die. WTF.
3) there are crabs in the forest. WTF.
4) chinese villagers use a dead grasshopper on a stick to lure a hornet, and then tie a feather to the hornet, and then the villagers follow the hornet to its nest, and then they burn the nest and eat the dead grubs. WTF.
5) chinese fishermen use birds (i think herrings) to fish for them, by tying a loose noose around the birds’ necks so that the fish can’t swallow, and then remove the fish the birds have caught from the birds’ mouthes. WTF.
in other random news… GOJI BERRY?
you know that new fad that is “goji berry”?!!!!!!!!!!! i have just come to the realization that goji berry is GO JI ZI. HOLY SHITE. GROSS.
