Genetically Engineered monkey learns how to type

In a world exclusive, The Sun can reveal that a genetically engineered monkey called 'Marty' has learned to type in fluent English. Scientists at First Genetics Laboratories, a British research group, announced today that their quest to create a genetically modified monkey had been a success.

The 8-year old Mandrill, a member of the baboon family, stunned scientists when he started typing a message on a computer.

Dr Arnold Brockenfuhr, the project's chief geneticist, revealed to The Sun that Marty's first typed words were "My name is Marty".

"At first I thought it was one of the lab assistants messing around," said Dr Brockenfuhr, "but then I saw Marty type the words, 'Dr, this is no practical joke'."

Marty the Mandrills' existence has been a closely guarded secret for some time, but since communicating with his creators, they had to break the story. "We couldn't risk Marty sending an email to the outside world" informed Dr Brockenfuhr.

Chat to Marty - Live today

Marty is making his international debut on the Internet through the First Genetics website today. You will be able to chat to him through a live WebCast set up at

"We'd like to prove to the world that Marty is real by allowing people to chat directly to him live on the Internet" declared Dr Brockenfuhr. "He's ready and waiting in his office if anyone is willing to ask him a question or two."

The Sun asked Marty if he was looking forward to his WebCast, and he typed back "Very much so. I hope to make many new friends."

I asked Marty the monkey what was his name. He said "I can't comment on that, ask another question". :laugh:

I asked Marty, what color planet are you from? He said "My favorite colour is blue, the color of my nose".

They should get Whois-Search to answer the questions. :laugh:

Marty the monkey can be found in the appraisals forum. He was trained to type the "$" key, followed by the "0" key. I cannot tell you his username.
