PHOTO: Monkey's Self-Portrait Is Bananas

Want to know how to take a great self-portrait that really brings out your eyes?

Look no further than this monkey! The Houston Zoo tweeted this hilarious photo of a seemingly-smiling monkey striking a pose. The adorable photo was taken by a game camera in the wilds of Borneo, where the conceited monkey lives.

Hey HuffPo! I see how it is! It's OK to make connections to Democrats but it's not OK to do the same to Republicans. Are they above getting lampooned?

maybe you should keep politics out of non political threads.

I wasn't being political, I was being cheeky just like several other posts were. Somebody at HP is awfully sensitive. You are right though, venomous political comments have no place here.

Likely it will work well on an online dating service. Caption: "Hey Peanut, this is the Big Banana comin' at ya'. What's shakin'?"

"Wrong one, dude. This one's 'Christian Mengele', a dating service for uber proud Banana Republicans - without boxers or briefs, and with nothing on their mind but fur !"

This is the beginning of the overthrow. The monkeys have had it. They are about to launch their initial attack. And they as so confident that they are mocking us - right into our clever 'hidden' cameras!
