NEW GOO!
New Desktop -
Slip sliding by the work week into another Fabulous Friday is a New Grab
of GOO from Monkie Master B-Rad Wiles. Let's have a look at the rad!
Desktops - Ever notice how
MacMonkies' own Bradford Wiles can't quite
 figure out
how to categorize his own graphical compositions? DITTO! And today's entry
into the Gallery is no different. Well, it IS
different, but in it's own right. Made up from an older entry containing
a "Rising Moon," MRX
IV is a radical departure from its original "sister"
of sensational star struck splendor. Have you figured out which sisted
twister we're speaking of? You can always ask!
But if not, we'll simply let you enjoy this odd but somewhat addictive
addition to your computer face in which to fixate...Enjoy!
Thanks Department --
To all of you...
For looking at our latest!

a star? Move your mouse now to get your copy at the iTunes
App Store...Go already!
Comixology Adds 50 New Comics -
50 new comic books have
been added to the Comics by comiXology catalog.
You can browse the entire listing of available comics on your iPhone or see
the new titles on the company's website - the first
three pages are filled with the new content.
 Comixology brings Web 2.0 to the comic book
market. It provides your weekly list of new releases in a format that
allows you to view each issue individually, displaying cover art, credits,
description, price, page count, and other information.
Comics by comiXology is an app for the iPhone and iPod Touch
that functions as a comic book store, library and reader. It's an all-in-one
app, so users can continue to purchase comics into the application, rather
than buying an application for every single comic. So the user, should they
buy 20 comics, doesn't have 20 applications for twenty comics -- just one!
Mac OS X Snow Leopard Released -
Today Apple releases the much awaited upgrade to OS X with Snow
Leopard. Snow Leopard builds on a decade of OS X innovation and
success with hundreds of refinements, new core technologies and out of the
box support for Microsoft Exchange. Snow Leopard is available as an
upgrade for Mac OS X Leopard users for $29. You can purchase your copy at
the Apple Store and many of your favorite Authorized
Apple Dealers.

Mass Hysteria
A professor of clinical psychology at Victoria University
in Wellington, New Zealand, included a lecture on crowd psychology in his
annual course. To illustrate mass hysteria, he regularly showed TV news footage
of teenage crowds greeting the Beatles at the local airport in the 1960's.
One year, when he ran the footage, he heard squeals and bursts of laughter
from his students. When the film ended he asked what had caused the hilarity.
Replied one student, "We recognized some of our mothers!"
Work Versus Prison - Part I
IN PRISON...You spend the majority of your time in an 8x10 cell. AT WORK...You
spend most of your time in a 6x8 cubicle.
IN PRISON...You get three meals
a day. AT WORK...You only get a break for 1 meal and you have to pay for
it.
IN PRISON...You get time off for good behavior. AT WORK...You get rewarded
for good behavior with more work.
IN PRISON...A guard locks and unlocks
all the doors for you. AT WORK...You must carry around a security card
and unlock and open all the doors yourself.
Boy Or Girl
A three-year-old boy went with his dad to see a litter of kittens. On returning
home, he breathlessly informed his mother, "There were 2 boy kittens
and 2 girl kittens."
How did you know?" his mother asked.
"Daddy picked them up and looked underneath," he replied. "I
think it's printed on the bottom."
Directionally Confucius
Confucius says, "War doesn't determine who is right.
War determines who is left."
OOPS!
An woman's fight with a stubborn cockroach put
her husband in the hospital with burns, a broken pelvis and broken ribs,
the newspaper reported yesterday.
The woman, frightened by the insect when
she found it in their living room, stepped on it, threw it in a,toilet
and sprayed a full can of insecticide on it when it refused to die.
Her husband
came home from work, went to the toilet and lit a cigarette.
When,he threw
the cigarette butt into the bowl, the insecticide fumes ignited, "seriously
burning his sensitive parts," the newspaper wrote.
When paramedics were
called to the home, they laughed so hard when they learned
what had happened that they dropped the stretcher down the stairs, breaking
the unidentified man's pelvis and ribs.

Odds and Ends
Hot To Trot - In the
original Grimm brothers' fairy tale, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, the
wicked Queen was condemned to dance in red-hot iron shoes until she died.
Your Entry Here - According
to the General Telephone Company of Pennsylvania, the typical American spends
an average of one year of his or her life speaking on the telephone. That's
probably changed a bit with cell phones...Like 1.5 LIFETIMES!
Look At Me! - Videos destroyed the
vitality of rock and roll. Before that, music said, "Listen to me." Now
it says, "Look at me."
-Billy Joel
Simple -
My defenses were so great. The cocky rock and roll hero who knows
all the answers was actually a terrified guy who didn't know how to cry.
Simple.
- John Lennon
Parting Shot - I chased a
woman for almost two years only to discover her tastes were exactly like
mine - we were both crazy about girls.
- Groucho Marx

21st Century Internet
The Internet: where men are men, women are men, and children
are the FBI...
Now What?
A couple of Texas hunters are out in the woods when one
of them falls to the ground. He doesn't seem to be breathing, his eyes are
rolled back in his head. The other guy whips out his cell phone and calls
911. He gasps to the operator, "My
friend is dead! What can I do?"
The operator, in a calm soothing voice
says, "Just take it easy. I can
help. First, let's make sure he's dead..."
There is a silence, then
a shot is heard. The hunter says, "OK, now what?"
Give Peace A Chance
You mama is so fat, when she lies on the beach Greenpeace try to push her
back in the water.
How Great
A man was digging a ditch, when he uncovered a lamp. When he brushed it
off, a genie popped out, and said "To show my gratitude for releasing
me, I'll grant you one wish."
The man thought for a second, reached
into his pocket, pulled out a map of the world, pointed to the Middle-East,
and replied "I want you to bring
peace to this area."
"Ooooh....I'm so sorry, that's impossible" said
the genie. "There's
absolutely no way I could accomplish such a great feat, so you'll have
to choose another wish."
The man then said "Well....then how
about having my wife tell me how great a man I am?"
The genie
thought for a minute, then said "Can I see that map again?"
Just On Time
There was a big inspection on a building site. The boss
tells the workers, "What ever happens just act as usual."
The inspection
committee was inspecting when a wall just collapses.
Looking at his watch, one of the workers calls out, "10:15,
just on time."
