First Monkey to Ever Walk on the Moon Declared Dead

By Queuebot in Everything Else on Nov 19, 2009 at 11:47 am

The History Bluff (motto: "Making a mess of history") brings us another headscratcher with the sad news that the first monkey to ever walk on the moon has passed away.

On June 3, 1981 Harlan the Monkey became the first primate to ever walk on the moon. Harlan died on November 18, 2009 of an apparent Tang overdose.

    Silly and fun. You can find a factual account of animals NASA has sent into space here:

    Yeah, and actually a monkey never went to the moon.

    As I’ve said before, kids are messed up enough as is. Why mess them up with lies even more?

    Humans share 90-95% of the same genes with apes so from a Darwinian perspective the headline’s right. Oh wait, Armstrong’s still alive. Maybe not.

    Sad part is that with it being published on the Interwebs, some stupid kids will now grow up believing that it actually happened.

    ….ya can’t stop stupid….
