Courtesans and gentlefops! Welcome to Virus-Machine Dot Net’s first MONKEY TUESDAY!
Monkey Tuesday exists for a couple of reasons: firstly, to pay tribute to Penn Jillette, who used to do Monkey Tuesday on his radio show before it was cancelled; and secondly, because monkeys are awesome.For reference, Monkey Tuesday is open to all non-human primates, including old- and new-world monkeys and great apes — for our purposes, all these things fall under the category of Monkey, because ‘monkey’ is a much funnier word. So watch our monkeys, and submit monkeys of your own in the comments section.
Let’s start things off with a couple monkey videos!
New York Dolls - Dance Like a Monkey
Featuring a guest appearance by His Pastaness Most High, the Flying Spaghetti Monster!
Dance, Monkeys, Dance
Amusingly, when I searched YouTube for these videos I got the following error:
500 Internal Server Error
Sorry, something went wrong.
A team of highly trained monkeys has been dispatched to deal with this situation.
Thank you, YouTube, for furthering the cause of hilarity by including Error Message Monkeys.
Ety: On the topic of monkeys, free flash Super Monkey Ball Minigames. Also…

Joachim S. Müller: I’ve been crediting them to the photographer’s Flickr account, because often (especially on Flickr) there’s no clear name to use (especially on Flickr, where you can change the name at any point, but not the username), and because it links directly back to the photographer anyway. When it’s on the photographer’s website (if I find it there), I credit to the website, and give the photographer’s name if known.
The photo by you that I found on one of our posts does, in fact, have your name on it anyway. All the Creative Commons license calls for is attribution, which is simply “you must attribute the author and/or licensor in the manner they require”. When there is nothing specifically stating that they must be attributed with the creator’s full name (and when no full name is clearly provided), I default to username and a link to the website.
