Three Monkeys in Ebay
|
|
A set of three monkeys is presently
on auction in Ebay.com for US$ 4,000.00. Not exactly cheap, but for that
price shipping within the USA is free and “only” costs around US$ 600
worldwide. What a pity that such “valuable” monkeys had to pose on a rag
covered kitchen table. If you want to have a look, search in Ebay for item
# 110672669734. No further comments from our side.

Hotel with a three monkey room
|
|
The Arte Luise Kunsthotel in
Berlin has a room that is especially dedicated to the Three Monkeys. It
probably is the only three-monkey
hotel room in the world. We think that any 3-monkey collector visiting
Berlin should try to stay there. Click
here for a photo and on the same page you can have a panorama view by
clicking on the 360 degrees link at the right hand side of that page. The
hotel manager has written a message in our Guestbook that any 3-monkey
collector staying in that room will receive a special certificate
confirming the night in the Three Monkeys room. Entry # 354. Click here.

Have a look at a funny photo-pool in www.flickr.com titled: Three Wise Monkeys. This picture album is not about hear-see-speak-no-evil monkeys, but about
humans only. Click here for the
slide show. There is another photo-pool
with fewer members named No Evil
Monkeys. Click
here. Be prepared that it may take quite some
time to see all the slides. If you don’t know
Flickr yet: it probably is world’s largest online photo sharing
application.

Telephone cards (calling
cards) with hear, see and speak no evil
|
|
Phonecards have been collected
worldwide since the mid 1970's and peaked in the mid 1990s. At its height,
over 2 million people collected phonecards. The hobby has been in decline
during the past years, due to the fact that more and more telecom companies
cease to supply calling cards. A number of cards have been issued with
hear-see-speak-no-evil pictures. We have recently updated our webpage.

Piercings with hear-see-speak-no-evil

A Russian design studio has come up with a new
idea for three-monkey piercings. One for the eyebrow (see no evil), one for
the earlobe (hear no evil) and one for the under lip (speak no evil).
Whether this idea ever is going to be commercialized, we don’t know. Click here.

According to the Chinese calendar, which is also observed in a

Coloring pages with the three monkeys

An idea for those of you who have small children
that need to be kept busy for some time. Here are links to free monkey
coloring pages that can be printed. Click on the following links: hear
no evil monkey, see
no evil monkey and speak
no evil monkey. The youngsters may get interested in the 3 wise
monkeys, which will be good, because our group of collectors is slowly but
surely aging.

Gibraltar and the three monkeys
|
|
The Gibaltar
Macaques (click) are the only monkeys that live freely in Europe. They
belong to the same family as the Japanese Macaques,
the ones that stood model for the original three monkey symbol. The
souvenir shops in Gibraltar mostly offer the same 3-monkey figurines as can
be found in other countries, but with “Gibraltar” printed on them. Specific
items that were only made for Gibraltar mostly are fridge magnets, key
chains and cigarette lighters. Click
here to have a look. A few Gibraltar items are now for sale in our
online store. The quantities are very limited, so first come-first served. Click here.

Another 3-monkey collector in Russia

Alexey (we wrote about him in this Newsletter on December 08, 2010)
has sent us a link to an internet forum in Russia, where a three-monkey
collector is asking for contact with fellow collectors. Alexey has tried to
contact this person on our behalf, but the website does not seem to
function anymore. So the only thing we can show you now is this photograph
of a Russian 3-monkey collection by Anatoly. Click here.
