From The Copy Desk: With The Boys still away and undecided as to if they're coming home after spring break, it once again falls to those of us who shovel roofs to fill the void left by the halphlings. So, we're going to go on about Monkeys in space. Well, that's the link to the Wikipedia page, where all the actual details are supposed.
Now that elephants are being retired by the circus, see Pachederms Paroled. The Boys would urge everyone to pick a reputable charity working to save wild elephants and give according to your means. As for the monkeys, we killed most of them during early space flight experiments. Please remember their sacrifice whenever you (or your cell-phone signal) are in space.
