Going Once, Going Twice - a Chance to Name a Monkey
By Sue Pleming

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - <snip>.

Now ordinary people can bid online to officially name an orange and brown monkey documented last year in Bolivia's Madidi National Park, seen by scientists as one of the most biologically diverse places on Earth.

Conservationist Robert Wallace of the New York-based Wildlife Conservation Society, who discovered the new monkey species, came up with the idea of a naming auction to raise money for the management of Madidi park.

The auction runs from Feb. 24 to March 3 on www.charityfolks.com , which recently sold a guitar autographed by former Beatle Paul McCartney and lunch with former U.S. President Bill Clinton to raise funds for other causes.

Wallace said the winner would have to follow the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature, which while flexible, does not allow for anything openly offensive.

Wallace said little was known about the new species, a variety of the titi monkey of the Callicebus genus. It stands about a foot tall, weighs two pounds and likes fruit. He had no idea how much money would be raised by the auction, but said all proceeds would go to a Bolivian nonprofit conservation group and the country's park service.

My suggestions
I think I have the classification correct.
King Phillip Came Over From Germany Seeking Virgins
Kingdom Phylum Class Order Family Genus Species Variety

Callicebus Santorumus titi (It's brown, possibly frothy, and likes fruits).

Callicebus Worst-President-Everus titi

Callicebus WMDs titi (Finally, we would have found WMDs!)

Callicebus Naughtius Maximus titi

Callicebus Incredibly Deadly Monkey titi

Callicebus Butch Cassidy titi (The monkey's from Bolivia).

Although somehow I bet it will end up being called Callicebus GoldenPallace.com titi

2. That is such a cool site, I'm bookmarking it for when I win the lottery

it would be wonderful to be able to bid on some of their offerings. You can have a vacation in Africa while helping a worthy cause. Sigh, maybe someday. Oh yeah, I guess they are right when they say you can't win if you don't play. There goes yet another fantasy...

3. Just call it "Biggus Dikkus"

We'll all know what it means.
