Put it this way, monkeys are really cool and all, but when they steal your food and crap in your house etc, they suck!
I know because we have them at our holiday house in Jefferies Bay.

When at 4 in the morning they go jumping on your tin roof(sounds like a machine gun).There is no way you can feel any love for such a creature.Especially when they break into the kitchen and rob you clean of all your food.Then leave a nice pile of poo in the middle of the floor.Nope I don't like them.
Oh,and did I mention they throw stuff.Yep, they throw rocks and anything else they can find.Then they try and bite you.

Well lucky me, the monkeys are on a 6 month turn around.I'm either in Kenya or the US. Yeti, what country are you in?

I hear monkey bites are pretty bad.I've personally haven't had one bite me(not yet anyways).But seen other people's wounds from the little buggers.
Nasty critters.

LOL, that sounds terrible!
I live in Cape Town, South Africa. My holiday house is in Jefferies bay. it is awsome there because there is just open bush to play paintball in! But there are also snakes there :( . Seen a few big bad ones there!
Youre really lucky to get to be in Kenya. I have been to Tanzinia which is quite close and loved it soo much. My familie is into the whole camping experience, which is awesome!

You said, "I have a mac." WMV files are Windows Media files. Macs can't play WMV files, unless you have boot camp and are running windows on Mac hardware...
No, I meant that I couldn't play WMV files because I have a Mac. I was just stating my problem, not answering it...

Had a math teacher from Cape Town.Pretty cool guy extended bush teams and all(I assume that's your special forces?).

I heard of one place in Nairobi to play paintball.Couldn't find it.No suprise, Nairobi is horrible to navigate in.Such a bummer I couldn't find it that's my sport.
Haven't seen to many snakes.I killed one with my pocket knife not sure what it was. Some type of viper.Pretty good fangs.Not a mamba though :cry:

Well Kenya could be better(of course if it was better we wouldn't be going there).They deforested pretty much everything except the UN housing near Nairobi(pure chance? :roll: )I hear Tanzania is really nice.Haven't been there yet.Funny since I live a short boat ride away.Mbita, on lake Victoria.

You know what,I just now noticed how many other people chimed in on this thread.My computer has had some loading issues lately. I didn't get all the replies. Until I reloaded Weird?

for anyone who has a mac go and download "VLC player" it can literally play any type of video file. i have windows and i use it instead of windows media player because it loads faster (its not as shinny looking)

I also have those problems. All you have to do is refresh your page every time! :(
You definitely should go to Tanzinia if you get the opportunity. The snakes up North arent half as bad as ours for some reason. We get a lot of puffaders, boomslang, skaapstekers etc which are all HIGHLY poisonous! I nearly cycled over a puffader in the Easter Holidays!!!

For some reason the page wouldn't load previous messages.Ex: I couldn't see Da pneu's post when I went on this thread.Only after I typed my message was I able to see his post.

We mainly get the little brown vipers and Mamba's in Mbita.Of course in the South Carolina(were I;m at now) it's really no different. Rattlers,water moccasins, and copperheads.None will kill you but you'll be in a world of hurt.

But to be back on subject:What did everyone think of my folks website.Not to be pushy or anything, but its still being designed and all. So, any input would be nice.

Yea, all 3 will kill you, don't push your luck if you get bit by any of the 3. It's a slow kinda death, the Copperheads being the slowest, Rattle snake being the fastest.

I just realized I said VIC instead of VLC. :D But yeah, it is amazing, it will play almost any video and audio file on earth. And if it doesn't have a codec, it will find one. I have it on Ubuntu, as natively you can't play anything. Well, barely anything.
