Today's Interesting Thought Was Inspired By: Hello Dad  Our source for "Kid-Friendly Facts"  Here's what we're wondering? Based on the air across the wings speed of the Wright Brothers Flyer, if we could attach aerodynamic wings to the fastest monkey, would we create flying monkeys? This is, of course, theoretical, because Ninja Monkeys are too slow and lazy to catch the fastest of our species. But we'll pay you 200 GPs for a correct answer in our EMAIL. 👻Trick o' Monkee👻   Click on the envelope! Thanks For Playing!! There Ya' Go Wraithy WiԎchy of Woe! |

As always, Waltz in the Lonesome October inspired us to go off on a tangent, do some research, pest Richard until he looked stuff up for us. We discovered that many different animals were part of the space race. So many that we decided to make a Word Search to keep Wraithy WiԎchy of Woe! busy, BTW, we didn't get any turkey!!
Hope You Enjoy This Word Search!! |
Here Is The Answer To Yesterday's Ninja Monkey Quiz! Who Were The First Animals Into Space? Fruit flies (1947): These were the first living organisms intentionally put into space on a V2 rocket from White Sands Missile Range, New Mexico. Albert II (1949): The American rhesus monkey Albert II became the first mammal and primate in space on a suborbital flight. Laika (1957): A stray dog from Moscow, Laika was the first animal to orbit the Earth aboard the Soviet Sputnik 2. Sadly, none of these early space travelers survived their journey. Thank you Waltz in the Lonesome October for edumacating us with a new fact! A small black-and-white Parisian stray, Félicette, flew on a French rocket on a sub-orbital mission in October 1963 that reached an altitude of 154km, taking her to a place where no feline had gone before – or since. Happily, Félicette survived her trip into space, preceding Data's Spot by several centuries! |
| I would like to propose an Honorable Mention for Félicette, the first and (so far) only cat in space, who was launched as part of the French (yes, French) space program. In contrast to these other early pioneers, she survived a return to Earth. She's honored with a suitable memorial in her home country. |

| Wasn't it Mutnik (dog) that was the first spacecraft to carry an animal? |
Friendly Neighborhood Derg  - It was a dog called Laika that Orbited earth and a monkey was the first mammal to reach space, was called Albert ll BOTH DIED ON THEIR MISSIONS |
So, the Anniversary Week Bash is over on WDc! But on Monkey Island, The Party never stops!! We found this word search while we were exploring Edgar Allan Poe's room at UVA.
And remember:
Is still open for business! Richard had morning and afternoon juries yesterday; today, he has late afternoon and evening sessions. He keeps saying something about waiting for the other shoe to drop! |

This afternoon, WdC time, the Ninja Monkeys had the pleasure of mailing out their very first Exclusive Merit Badge to those Authors who donated Gift Points to us! We thank you for your donations!! We think we remembered everyone. Richard left us an X-cel spreadsheet (whatever that is), we sent it to these peeps. Here is an Alphabetized List ▼ If we missed you somehow, please let us know via email!! 👻Trick o' Monkee👻 , just click the envelope Didn't get one? Want one? That Can Be Arranged! Here's the deal: this Merit Badge will go into the vault on Monkey Island at the end of the month! Therefore, you must act before September 30th. if you want, "Say What"! There are three ways to get him: The StoryMaster has been kind enough to allow us to send one free badge per day, so we'll be running a small raffle daily. To enter: You may either buy your way in and receive one ticket for 1,000 GPs or five tickets for 4,000 GPs. Or, if you share this post to Your Newsfeed, you will receive one ticket free! Be sure to tag {huser:ninjamonkey} so we see it!! Okay, that's two ways, what's the third? You may make a direct purchase of "Say What" for a mere 1,000,000 GPS (sorry Richard says that's a little greedy), we meant 30,000 gift points (or more, Ninja Monkeys are a bit greedy). Payments should be forwarded to "Ninja Monkey Headquarters" P.S.: If you already have Say What!, but still want to play, we'll steal another Exclusive Badge from Richard that you don't have and send that instead. |
| A Special Sunday Announcement!! We, the Ninja Monkeys, were planning to open the "Go Bananas Raffle And Contests! ~ Closed" in September. But that spoilsport Mordecai Grimsly
🦇🧟 has just informed us that he will be crazy busy for one week of September, and since the raffle needs constant attention (and we have such short attention spans), we thought it would be best to postpone the activity for a month and host it in November October. |
