I don't know, does it really matter? I personally think there are too many people in the world, although I'm not sure what it has to do with anyone's 2012 predictions? ... unless of course we run out of resources or, the planet gets nasty all of a sudden and decides to fight back.

Either that or it was something that I did. :yup:

Do apes, like, oh, say, CHIMPS, count as monkeys?

What about lemurs? Or, are they more closely related to lemmings?

Chimps are apes, they count! They all count!

Just as long as the angles of satin don't come riding in on a Rush song, I think I can make it.

I can't believe Millions of Dumbfounded Dipshits wasn't a choice.

My choice isn't on the list, so I'll have to do a write in. The world will end when our sun becomes a red giant.

But they're not adorable, Q. Not by a long shot. Unless Ymir's blood is referring to how Bubbles and that limo driving fiend from Cannonball Run 2 have everyone snowed so that we won't know what hit us when the end comes.

As are you. Clyde, however, is an orangutan, not a chimp.

I see so, who is the bigger monkey then? ... Sorry, Clyde is just as relevant as either one of your chimps.

Or, maybe you are not even referring to chimps, I don't know? I'm not sure I ever saw Canon Ball Run 2?

Yes I am referring to chimps. You can tell because I used the word "chimps." And no, orangutans are not relevant to this thread because it's about the end of the world which chimps will certainly have a hand in while orangutans are innocently minding their business in whatever is left of Borneo.

Yes. You don't know, yet still you post.
Therein lies the puzzle.

Yes, I am referring to apes, and whether or not they should count as monkeys.

There will be a viscacha uprising, certainly. But it won't be the cause of the end of the world - it will be their attempt to prevent the end of the world - and humanity's last hope, not that many of us will realise, let alone do anything to help.

There will not be a vischacha uprising, because that is a Latin American dance.

I was thinking about the tiny ones that can sit on a human's palm.

JoeP, sorry about the misspelling. The poll options were typed up in text file and I was rushing.

MonCap, that isn't going to happen next year.

Iacchus, don't over think this.

Why do you think Ymir posted this poll, Joe?

There is still some debate about this, because it has a lot to do with the differences between colloquial terms and scientific names, but in a monophyletic group (the group that contains all descendants of the closest common ancestor), younger branches of the group don't stop being what their ancestors were. This would mean that snakes are still a sub-set of lizards, and apes are still a sub-set of monkeys. Including us, of course.
