  1. about that link to the new monkey discovery.
    That’s no monkey, I believe I know that guy . I’m always tempted to ask him “Why the long face?”

    Also, that link about the Eagle with the new damaged beak. All I saw there was a beautiful, young woman and there’s nothing wrong with her beak.
    Thanks for sharing. I’m glad I had already eaten breakfast. Some of that stuff turned my stomach and that’s almost impossible to do.
