No Monkey Business

Sharper Image is known worldwide for their high quality, innovative products, combining sleek design with top technology. Cars, yachts and young girls aside, the store is packed with gadgets to fulfill every man's mid-life crisis fantasy.

Now, they're taking a step back in toy evolution with their latest product, the "Alive" Chimpanzee...So Real, It's Unreal! This chimp is housed with the latest Hollywood "F/X" animatronics, which make him look, sound, act and feel like a real animal, with a life-size bust to boot. He speaks with special "vocal chords" and is equipped with sensors to react to your movement, sounds and touch. He even has four emotional states - Curious, Happy, Fearful and Feisty - which can work independently or through a remote control.

Seein' is believin', so be sure to watch the video demo yourself.

You can purchase your very own "Alive" Chimpanzee for $149.95. Any human who does so should be subjected to scientific experiment, reverse Project X style.

For the Love of the Game

In a strange show of unity, North Korean and South Korean officials have met to discuss competing as one team during the 2008 Beijing Olympics.

Pros:
-Uniting the two territories may be a step to greater peace in the region, and may perhaps, help propel North Korea out of its longstanding isolationism.
-The plurality of large Korean calves is sure to excel them to greater athletic achievement.
-Kimchi x 2.

Cons:
-No medals =>Wrath of Kim Jong Il =>Nukes?

What would Germany do?
