Otis <100thMonkeyNews>


Sweet Potato! What a trip, Welcome to 100th Monkey News, where the conscious collective check in on all of my monkey business.

I'm Otis and I was a key member of the 100th Monkey Experiment that took place on Koshima Island, Japan.

You can learn more about this experiment and what It might mean to you right here in my blogs, quiz, and the Bebo TV.

This experiment changed my life and caused me to embark on a journey of discovery asking the age old question:

What's it all about?

Since leaving Koshima, I have had the chance to meet many humans along the way and am learning more and more about what makes you guys tick.

I love relating to you guys on the bebo, and enjoy offering you a monkey's eye view on life, through my many creative mediums.

If you ever wanna know whats New, then 100th Monkey News is where it's at, feel free to add me as a friend too.
Take care Human,
Otis

The 100th Monkey Experiment - Hypothesis: Collective Conscious
Otis Says:

The Hundredth Monkey
by Ken Keyes, jr.

The Japanese monkey, Macaca fuscata, had been observed in the wild for a period of over 30 years.

In 1952, on the island of Koshima, scientists were providing monkeys with sweet potatoes dropped in the sand. The monkeys liked the taste of the raw sweet potatoes, but they found the dirt unpleasant.

An 18-month-old female named Imo found she could solve the problem by washing the potatoes in a nearby stream. She taught this trick to her mother. Her playmates also learned this new way and they taught their mothers too.

This cultural innovation was gradually picked up by various monkeys before the eyes of the scientists.

Between 1952 and 1958 all the young monkeys learned to wash the sandy sweet potatoes to make them more palatable.

Only the adults who imitated their children learned this social improvement. Other adults kept eating the dirty sweet potatoes.

Then something startling took place. In the autumn of 1958, a certain number of Koshima monkeys were washing sweet potatoes -- the exact number is not known.

Let us suppose that when the sun rose one morning there were 99 monkeys on Koshima Island who had learned to wash their sweet potatoes.

Let's further suppose that later that morning, the hundredth monkey learned to wash potatoes.

THEN IT HAPPENED!

By that evening almost everyone in the tribe was washing sweet potatoes before eating them.

The added energy of this hundredth monkey somehow created an ideological breakthrough!

But notice.

A most surprising thing observed by these scientists was that the habit of washing sweet potatoes then jumped over the sea --

Colonies of monkeys on other islands and the mainland troop of monkeys at Takasakiyama began washing their sweet potatoes.

Thus, when a certain critical number achieves an awareness, this new awareness may be communicated from mind to mind.

Although the exact number may vary, this Hundredth Monkey Phenomenon means that when only a limited number of people know of a new way, it may remain the conscious property of these people.

But there is a point at which if only one more person tunes-in to a new awareness, a field is strengthened so that this awareness is picked up by almost everyone!

Saying your piece the easy way !
Hey future tumblers! I think it's important to say what you feel in life, to share yourselves, and I know you nod. But many of you guys are scared of your computernet.

well Otis found some monkey magic at http://tumblr.com, so stop shaking, or better still shake on over to the aforementioned url.

Why? It's eeeeeeeeeeasy, like peasy.

photographs, quotes, scribbles and video are a sinch, so no excuses.

Check it out, I write there too my friends, so feel free to sniff me out on sign up:

I am indeed a fan of all things monkey, I particularly enjoy spanking the primate, but in your case ,Otis, I'll make an exeption and refrain from striking out. I like your work my simian friend, keep it going and I'll put you in touch with a fruit and vegetable wholesaler who'll give you discounts on Fyffe's Bannanas. You know you can't resist their colourful yellow hue and their enticing peely skin, you monkey you.

ps You're not one of those monkeys who throws faeces around are you? Don't want to get my whiteboard dirty!
