I wouldn't mind looking at it myself if I had the opportunity. That reminds me that I read something earlier about the smell of space -- apparently it's a bit sweet and metallic.

I heard this story on NPR and thought of you ... glad you're on it :-) It kind of reminds me of the Big Evil or whatever it was in The Fifth Element ... Horray, a new post!

It's interesting you should ask, because I was just noticing the other day that I have been getting a small but significant handful of hits from search terms such as "monkey food chain", etc. Is this some kind of school project? I was curious so I googled it myself. I didn't find anything about a school project, but I did find some quick info on a monkey food chain. I imagine it depends on the sort of monkey, but here is what I have so far, just for kicks: Buds --> Rhesus Monkey --> Jackal Info from http://www.lairweb.org.nz/tiger/hunting8.html (jackals eat rhesus monkeys, see text and accompanying diagram) and http://www.bbc.co.uk/nature/wildfacts/factfiles/211.shtml (rhesus monkeys feed on seeds, roots, buds, fruit, invertebrates, bark and cereals). It's far more complicated than that, of course. But I give you a very simple food chain, and demonstrate how one would go about researching a food web. I googled "monkey food chain" and got to the first site to see that jackals eat rhesus monkeys. Then I googled "rhesus monkey diet" and got to the second site. So to answer your question, you just find out what a monkey eats, and/or what eats the monkey. Then, look up the next thing. What does that eat and/or what is it eaten by? Then, just draw the arrows the right way (they go from what is being eaten to what is doing the eating), and you're done. So, does anyone care to share what sort of project we're working on here?
