Anatomy of some floofy critterers! True real anatomical diagrams of some real true cute animals: foxes; dingos; giraffes; corgis; goats; pugs; and of course, a banana.

Because why not? After many stalled attempts at rewriting the Mofi website from scratch, we have a test Mofi for your perusal! It uses the current MoFi database and has all past posts and comments, but from this point stores posts separately, so you can play around with it as much as you want. Please note any errors, bugs, and other issues. Any features you see lacking, say so in a comment. This is a very basic version right now and other features will come over time (e.g. A "bananas"/I like this button). more inside

Monkeyfilter 2: Electric Boogaloo This is the work-in-progress - it has a copy of the MoFi database so you can log in with your usual username and password and all the content up to now is over there. However new content over there won't stay...so go on over and be guinea pigs (or the simian equivalent). There will be bugs - let us know what they are!

Imma let you finish... What are the greatest MoFi threads of all time...OF ALL TIME?! Post them here in this meta-post.

James and Other Apes I was going to post the synopsis of this project but realised that I had already formed the same thoughts as the artist before I read his description. These are great photos. more inside

Monkey Feedback Survey
Some hypothetical questions on the offchance that we do a rewrite of MoFi: * What would you like to see done differently? * Which features work and which don't? * What is something you have seen on other websites that could work here?

SLYT: The cast of Spongebob re-record classic movie scenes. My favourite is Singing in the Rain.

Curious Mad Scientist George Help me with this science experiment... more inside

MoFi is back...with my heartfelt apologies. When you tag an email as "important", it pays to follow up immediately, not put it off.

A Public-Service Announcement (It's been a while since one of these...) If there is anyone reading this who has joined as a member but whose account is still set to "pending", let me know in a comment email me your username. A recent spate of spam accounts means I have probably missed authenticating some new members and I'd hate for you to miss out on the awesomeness that is posting and commenting on MoFi!

Visit Abbey Road and watch tourists reenact the ever-so-famous album cover with great schadenfreude (if that's your thing).

This makes my nose hurt. Short version: guy gets shot in the head. And then...sneezes out the bullet.

Feeling disgruntled? Get gruntled. Via the 'firc.

An interactive 8-bit Eclipse game! You don't need to be a Twilight fan to find this fun or funny. Trust me.

Who would win in a fight, Spain or France? So #2 has a new job which entails travelling to the EU and US (alternating) four times a year. This means a minimum of 30-35 hours of economy-class travel for him each way, every time. I made the comment that it would make more sense to move to the EU or east coast of the US. Since we've already lived in the US, we have hypothetically decided to move to Europe. Help us narrow down options! more inside

A new ocean is forming in northern Africa. Cool, huh? Although the rift started forming in 2005, scientists now say that the volcanic activity in the crack is similar to what is happening in the ocean's trenches. (This link has a couple of photos for scale.)

This is my life. Is it yours?

A doodle a day Starting late in 2008, I started a project of drawing on, decorating, or otherwise defacing a 3 x 5 index card every day. more inside

Photo sharing! We haven't done anything like this in a long time. Post a photo you've taken that you think is really awesome for whatever reason. Technically awesome, an awesome subject (or an awesome photographer).

Meetup ahoy! Not that I anticipate a huge response, somehow, but I'm planning to attend the Metafilter meetup in Auckland, NZ, next month. Any NZ monkeys (which I think amounts to rodgerd and vitalorgnz, although there may be more), please join me and I will buy you the beverage of your choice (conditions apply).
