No problem: even a monkey can do it  ;D

How are you finding these pictures? Are you doing an image search somewhere?

Here are some monkey instructions:

1- To make a picture appear, surround its address with the "img" tag between square brackets like this (but without the extra space inside the brackets that I added to stop the script):

[img ]http://image address[ /img]

You can also just select the address and click the icon above the editing box.

2 - To make a clickeable (sp?) link, surround it by the "url" icon like this:

[url ]www.ta0.com[ /url]

You can also just select the address and click the icon above the editing box. However, this is generally not necessary as the board should recognize it if it has the correct format. But if you want a name instead of the actual link to be visible, do like this:

[url =www.ta0.com]clicky[ /url]


Monkey see, monkey do

I`m completely sure that if you teach a monkey how to play trompo, He will be able to do it. But I`m sure that you must be very, very patient.
Nice pic.
I love the monkeys, apes and all those animals very similar to us (I excuse and apologize if someone here has religious ideas against the Darwin`s ideas)
I would like to have a monkey and train him
My cat used to play with the top when it was dancing, ...he thought that was a kind of mouse...

My crazy dog thinks that every time I am working on making tops and making HDPE cylinders for the lathe.....that I am making something for her!  She just looks at me and barks and barks and barks until she gets something to chew on.  Usually one cylinder makes her happy but today she needed three plus some other HDPE left over pieces.  Somebody needed a lot of attention today!!!

By the way, I have at least ten tops ready to send to New York sometime soon for Larry's demonstrations.

A dog tail whipping a top!!!  That's a great idea.  Sadly, our dog does not have very good tail control.  She might hit it just right to give it a spin once or twice but her whipping activities seem more suited for knocking over drinks on the coffee table and toppling over small children.
