Monkeys

    At the risk of being rather Victorish I thought I'd check how many monkeys we have here on boards.

    There are 164 usernames that have monkey as part of the name. One hundred and sixty four... That's 0.2% of the boards population.

    There are 13 elephants, 3 kangaroos, 142 'fly's, 34 spiders and NO terrapins I'm sad to admit. Has the monkey taken over the world or will they be crushed by a species that I haven't searched yet?

    There are 96 wolves on boards.

    Sangre, she is, and she told me to tell you that she thinks you look like a nice wee boy in that picture of you touching up that waxwork model.

    :p

    What about penguins and ducks?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,921 ✭✭✭✭Pigman II


    I'd imagine in the vast majorit of cases it has to do with their fondness for spanking the proverbial.

    There are 14 earths and 49 horsies but only one Earthhorse.

    There are also 17 Gordons and 10 Victors. Fascinating stuff.

    Finally a thread that speaks to me.

    Be sure to check out the tag cloud on the front page for more monkey goodness.

    My monkey will be at the beers tonight, so come along and I'll let you touch his tail.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 36,634 ✭✭✭✭Ruu_Old


    Wheres the rest of my kangaroos? :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 35,524 ✭✭✭✭Gordon


    Since when was there a statue of Phil Lynott on Grafton street?!

    There are 21 penguins and 64 ducks. Only 17 animals and unfortunately the mythical creature - the angel is far superior than the monkey. There are 208 angels on boards. And only 117 gods 57 devils and 54 jesuses.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 463 ✭✭greenkittie


    are there any other green cats?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 35,524 ✭✭✭✭Gordon

    Well, there are 338 cats but that includes some non feline usernames. No green cats though, 31 kittens, 2 kitties, and 117 green users.

    You're assuming god isnt a chimp...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,716 ✭✭✭✭Earthhorse


    And, of course, the question arises, how many of these are bubbles?

    As the offspring of a horse and a donkey I reckon I am fairly unique

    I'm starting to worry about you now Gordie, do you need me to send you some books to read or summit?

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,294 ✭✭✭Jack B. Badd


    Do angels have souls? Do monkeys?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,216 ✭✭✭✭monkeyfudge


    Only monkeys have souls. FACT!

    For years I thought it was monkies...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,294 ✭✭✭Jack B. Badd


    Bold you. If there's a vowel before the "y" then you add an "s" rather than replace the "y" with "ies". Is it reasonable for me to write "an s" rather than "a s"? :confused: Damn language!

    A monk(ey) is a spiritual creature.

    A monk(ey) is a spiritual creature.

    So monkeys really can be angels after all?

    .....what about badgers? :o


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,294 ✭✭✭Jack B. Badd


    Badgers have no tickles because they have no conscience.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 978 ✭✭✭bounty


    meh

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 35,524 ✭✭✭✭Gordon


    There are 19 badgers on boards and 52 monsters!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6 ! ! Rhubarb


    What about fruit and veg, any other user names from the plant kingdom?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 35,524 ✭✭✭✭Gordon


    Good point there:

    4 rhubarbs (including a user called DonkeyRhubarb, so they get extra points). 41 apples, 18 oranges, 14 potatoes, 1 spinach, 3 salads, 0 broccoli and no toejam, thankfully.

    There's a shocking lack of potato-related user names for an Irish BB :(


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6 ! ! Rhubarb


    Any turnips or cabbages?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 35,524 ✭✭✭✭Gordon


    Indeed, 6 cabbages and 5 turnips. Cabbage > Turnip.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,716 ✭✭✭✭Earthhorse


    .....what about badgers? :o

    There are 24 angry users of boards. Pretty good considering the amount of activity on Feedback.

    Of the 70,000 plus userbase only 1,592 are "men" (that includes wo"men"). Though the member list only searches around 61,000 users.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 35,524 ✭✭✭✭Gordon


    I get 1,949 'man' usernames, maybe the modcp searches a larger section?

    647 boys, 389 girls, 27 women, 140 dudes and 130 chicks. (oh, and one sexpot only)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6 ! ! Rhubarb


    How many sweary named users.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,716 ✭✭✭✭Earthhorse


    Must do. I take it you're just clicking on Members List and performing a search?

    If you're really being Victor in this thread you'll need to recheck some of the figures I posted so!

    And what's a sexpot?
