who remembers the happy days of the Monkey Bulletin Board invasion? Few years ago now, but I found this message board where people were genuinely trading gibbons, chimps and other assorted apes.

Loads of genuine, technically adept primates suddenly appeared, flooding the board, with a range of messages saying "thank you for your interest in our welfare, but please don't keep us in your homes. Oh, and thank you for leaving your name, address and telephone number, that'll come in handy for sending around an angry gorilla to discuss the matter further"

the monkey people got pretty upset too, as I recall. The ones who didn't shit themselves ...
