It seems a little... strange... to me. Does anyone have one, or has anyone seen one in person? What's the appeal?

I need help in hacking this primate. I've just received my little monkey and after spending over an hour getting it out of the box, decided it needs a computer interface.   Could we possibly get a monkey forum going. I'll do my best to document the innards, but I'm a software guy, so I'll be needing suggestions and hints.   Initial Impressions: 1. It seems well made. 2. It wouldn't fool anyone as being real, but it is close enough to be in that area that is close enough to freak people out. (I'm thinking of putting it in my wifes bed for her to wake up to.... She already thinks it's too freaky). 3. It doesn't really have a long playablity value, I'm sorry to say. It needs more hacking interaction. You can program it, but after a while the sounds and facial expressions just aren't enough.   4. My goal. to hack it to accept commands from a computer. Hook up computers's sound to the voice output. Use festival speech systhisis to guide the monkeys mouth along with random facial expressions to tell me when I've got mail (and to possibly read ...

Especially happens when you command it to move its head around, as it lags about a second or two before actually moving, and changing the batteries makes no difference.

Take for example, the Roomba Chimp: it's essentially a WowWee Alive Chimpanzee stuck onto an iRobot Roomba vacuum cleaner. Take 10 seconds and watch this Frankenstein-like creation move around with the Chimp activated and making faces and noises as it moves. To quote one commenter: "How disturbing. I must have one."
