I like lemurs. I originally began to like lemurs because I thought they were mutant monkeys. Even after I learned this was sadly untrue, I kept liking them.

I especially love the stuff that my friend Bob, (who invents words in his spare time and writes amazing stories about nearly everything) has written- an entire series of stories based on lemurs.

Okay, not based on lemurs. Lemurs in this case are a nice byproduct. But they are based on the Adventures of Nad, a jungkleboy what was raised by lemurs. (My favorite one is The Toad of Hammerobby.)

An ekserpt from The Toad of Hammerobby
" Instead a voice is stating flatly, though in non-regional Englandish, "THIS IS AN ALERT. THE ENTIRED STATE OF COLLARALLDOUGH IS ON A TORNADO ALERT! BE PREPARED TO BE UNDER IT! A SPECIAL CAUTION IS ADVISED IF YOU LIVE IN A TRAILER! THOSE IN TRAILERS ARE WARNED TOO DISTRIBUTE WIEGHT EVENLY, AND TO BE SURE YOUR FOUNDATIONS ARE SECURELY FASTENED! TORNADOS CAN STRIKE SUDDENLY! YOU SHOULD NOT BE HAVING SEX WHEN THEY DO! WE WILL BROADCAST UPDATES AS THE ACRUE!" Then the song what was playing afore being enderupted, a sexy instrewedmental from the 'Kenny G Blows Michael Bolton' CD, comes back on."

Random lemur factoid: Tribes of lemurs, when at odds with one another, engage in battles known as "stink wars". They spray each other with a nasty musk, rather like skunks, only prettier.

Addition lemur-related factoid: I have a tattoo of a lemur in the center of my back.

One more bit of lemur-based amusement: Lemurama.

I'm about lemur'd out. Go visit Nad and let me nap.
