Dancing monkeys

A PRINCE had some Monkeys trained to dance. Being naturally great mimics of men's actions, they showed themselves most apt pupils; and when arrayed in their rich clothes and masks, they danced as well as any of the courtiers. The spectacle was often repeated with great applause, till on one occasion a courtier, bent on mischief, took from his pocket a handful of nuts, and threw them upon the stage. The Monkeys, at the sight of the nuts, forgot their dancing and became (as indeed they were) Monkeys instead of actors, and pulling off their masks and tearing their robes, they fought with one another for the nuts. The dancing spectacle thus came to an end, amidst the laughter and ridicule of the audience.
Moral:
They who assume a character will betray themselves by their actions.

Submitted by DeepGeek on Sun, 12/31/2006 - 02:59.MyDLLURTH is growing, and our revised logo better depicts the present URTH. All of our web content will soon display the change you see on this page.
First, you can see that the spinning wyrld is more realistic. The animation is, in fact, carefully compiled from hourly snapshots of Earth as would be seen from Sol on 2006-12-25. The atmospheric layer is artificial, but the surface representation is derived from NASA satellite imagery. The new animation is more realistic than the old; our logo is testament of our reality.
