You See Monkey Do?

Got this picture off The Gender Test.

What IS this monkey doing? I called it the "Flying Monkey" the first time I saw it, because I didn't bother to look too closely at the picture. It was like one of the last few questions in the test (where you had to pick which monkey you liked better, this one or some monkey that looked like it was carefully climbing on a branch). Why did I think it was flying? Well, it was before I saw the fur streaming out from the back of the monkey, and since the monkey appears to be facing downwards, I quite thought it was leaping off some from somewhere, and hence was, well, kind of flying. Angus agreed with me, in that he thought the monkey was flying.

Joel, however, said that the monkey was climbing upwards (see slope in the background). I didn't really agree with him, because I thought that the slope was merely part of the background, and in any case, the monkey's feet are not touching the slope. This, however, could be the case if the monkey were running up the slope.

The picture of the monkey on the site is saved as "jumper".

The question was: Who will win?

I picked this monkey, only because it looked cooler than the other monkey, which was brown in colour, didn't have fur streaming out from it's back, and well, definitely didn't look like it could hit this monkey with much of an impact (it was certainly didn't look like it had much momentum).

Have no idea how the question really relates to gender - picking the brown monkey means that you are careful and deliberate (reflected in the slow climb on the branch), and picking the black monkey means that you prefer to rush into action (shown by the leap?)?

I guess I am rather rash in my actions, but hey that's not really the reason why I picked that black monkey. Or is it? I did just randomly pick the one I thought looked cooler haha. It's just a Gender Test, something I didn't think I should spend much time deliberating on.

Oh and Puffy, although I'm not really sad, and I didn't feel abandoned (who knows whether I really was, I certainly didn't feel that way), I guess you may be right, because I have decided, well, put it behind me. But I'm not running back ya. As I've said before, I don't really hold grudges, but I don't forget either. So maybe I'll play with him again in the (distant) future. I doubt it though. HE holds grudges =P. Maybe exclusive for me, but well, I should feel special, not upset in that case *giggle*.

And no, I'm not going to be a Flying Monkey about it and jump back down to fall splat on the ground. It MAY be possible that I'd fall into some nasty pit he's dug for me in the future, but hey, I'm just too nice. Haha.
