Thousands of lucky New Yorkers were greeted with free copies of the New York Times this morning at subway stations throughout the city. For many early morning and perhaps caffeine deprived commuters it must have been a delightful surprise to get something free in New York. Also inspiring might have been the moment they read the headline, “Iraq War Ends”. Until these lucky devils happened to notice the paper was dated July 4, 2009.
A group of liberal pranksters known as the Yes Men were apparently responsible for this clever and complicated hoax which reportedly took six months to plan. The 15 page paper and it’s accompanying website is full of articles about maximum wage laws, national health insurance and Bush being indicted for high treason. Good, good stuff.
Monkeywhale applauds merry pranksters everywhere!

Here’s something I’ve been looking forward to for months. Thanks in large part to our neighbor Heather and the kind staff of the Weatherspoon Art Museum we gained access to the inner workings of the art installation process and were able to interview Leo in our kitchen.
This was a collaborative effort as part of our [...]
Two songs just aren’t enough. They came to our kitchen, braved the cold and the drizzle in the back yard and ate Indian food with us before returning to Brooklyn, NY. Fear not, they’ll be returning to Greensboro on March 13th as part of our Monkeywhale presents series …
Many thanks to Jocelyn, Emily and Jeremy [...]
For the past 2 years monkeywhale and our kind neighbors have thrown a Halloween party. Nothing fancy. A couple of gazebos, a keg, strings of lights across the lawn and a few lanterns. We also project films on the barn that have fallen into the public domain … like, Nosferatu for instance. Creepy and a [...]
An Apache Relay is the pre-colonial version of a courier system. Chiefs would compete against each other to see who could have a message delivered in the shortest amount of time. A Relay of 8 scouts could hand a message over a quarter of a mile in 3 minutes. Apparently. Just imagine if they [...]
Lyndsay, a neighbor to our fellow monkeywhalers in Asheville, NC came to our attention due to the insistence of Dulci, Shane and Jason of Now You See Them (a prior visitor to the kitchen). Dulci and Shane actually accompany Lyndsay on this song along with the very talented Matt Williams.
Who is this Lyndsay Wojcik? (pronounced [...]
