Barcroft TV posted this cute video of a orangutan washing herself with a bar of soap. Apparently she was peepin’ on some humans while they were bathing and decided to gank some soap for herself. A true case of monkey see monkey do. Haha, right? WRONG. This is an ape. Totally different.

This is a long-ass but totally worth it-ass video of a chimpanzee reacting to magic on a Japanese TV show. To be completely honest, I don’t actually understand WTF is going on either, but it doesn’t matter because I got to see a chimp wearing overalls hug a watermelon. Day = made.

If you recall back almost a year ago, we covered this before it was released. Well now the Felix MonkeyOh
The MonkeyOh requires one of those square iPhone USB charging plugs that comes with every iPhone (but then you can plug any USB cord into that) which slides perfectly into his back. You plug your USB cord into his mouth, wrap any excess cord around his back, and thread the gadget plug side end of your cord up between his legs. What you get is a cute monkey phone holder. We only tested it with iPhones (4S and 5) here because that’s all we have (baaaaaa) but his hands were a perfect fit for those devices.
The Felix MonkeyOh is made of plastic and is extremely easy to use. We like that. It keeps your cords wrapped up neatly and doesn’t leave the business end dangling in mid-air. We like that. He holds your phone perfectly while charging, keeping counters clutter-free. We like that. It’s lightweight and portable. We like that. There’s really no negatives (maybe a half point deduction for requiring an Apple plug?) And it’s whimsical and useful. We like that. Overall review: we monkey like it.

Don’t quote me but I believe Indiana Jones and the Color Changing Crystal Monkey was one of the rejected titles for Temple of Doom. Well maybe Indy could have just solved the whole thing by sitting at his computer if he had a Crystal Monkey with Color Changing LED Light
And it looks like a monkey. Everyone loves a monkey. It can also connect 4 USB devices to your computer, which is enough for you and your cranky old father who looks like Sean Connery. Wait, Sean Connery is your dad? Next thing you’re going to tell me is that Indiana was the dog’s name.

Not content on landing several rovers on the surface of Mars, NASA's JPL team's been working on more earthly projects. RoboSimian is an ape-like robot designed for search-and-rescue missions that's expected to compete in the DARPA Robotics Challenge. It features four multi-jointed limbs with unique hands and no defined front or back -- allowing it to always face the right way. Thanks to its primate-like movement and posture, the robot will be able to navigate over difficult terrain, climb ladders and even drive vehicles (one of the DRC's requirements). While the project itself isn't new, JPL recently published an interesting video that shows RoboSimian gripping tools, lifting its own weight and balancing delicate objects. This means, of course, that robot monkeys will soon join spiders, cats and dogs in your dystopian nightmares. Video after the break.

Meet MonkeyOh by Felix, the adorable monkey that holds your cords. If there’s one thing monkeys are known for it’s being neat and not making a mess- obviously the term “monkeying around” is a misnomer. Your cord wraps around him and his tiny monkey hands hold your smartphone while his monkey “backpack” holds your Apple power plug (which you’ll need, whether you use an iPhone or some other USB charging phone). The USB goes into his monkey mouth and no monkey business, you’re charging. It even works as a monkey stand without the plug. That’s one funky monkey.
