Caption Monkey 62: Egg-Laying Mountain

By Alex in Caption Monkey, Pictures, Travel on Jul 7, 2009 at 3:26 pm

Today’s Neatorama and Hobotopia’s Caption Monkey hails all the way from China – it’s about a mountain that’s laying an egg. First the story, via the always amusing Ananova’s Quirkies section:

Officials at Gulu village, Guizhou province, claim a cliff of Gandeng Mountain has laid more than 100 eggs, reports Guizhou Metropolis News.

They claim the eggs, as big as car tyres, appear in ‘sockets’ in the cliff around every two years.

Yang Shengjia, director of the local tourism bureau, said: "Another mountain egg is expected to be laid soon.

"If people, like visitors, can have long enough patience, they may view the astonishing scene of the mountain laying an egg."

Funniest caption will win a black and white custom Monkey drawing, courtesty of Adam "Ape Lad" Koford. Contest rules are simple: place your caption in the comment section, one caption per comment, please. You can enter as many funny ones as you’d like.

Be sure to visit Adam’s blog for inspiration. Good luck!

Update 7/8/09 – Adam has picked the winner! Congratulations to CreamTrumpet who won with this caption: Apparently, there’s a baby mountain in here.

    The nature of Monkey was irrepressible!

    from TV series Monkey (Magic):
    “…the powers of the Sun and the Moon all worked upon a certain rock, old as creation. And it became magically fertile. That first egg was named “Thought”. Tathagata Buddha, the Father Buddha, said, “With our thoughts, we make the World”. Elemental forces caused the egg to hatch. From it came a stone monkey. The nature of Monkey was irrepressible!”
