"Where did the name ‘dragonfly’ originate? \nAnswer: We have not been able to find a definitive answer to this question. One interesting theory about its origin, however, can be found in a book written by Eden Emanuel Sarot in 1958 entitled Folklore of the Dragonfly: A Linguistic Approach. He theorized that the name dragonfly actually came about because of an ancient Romanian Folktale. In the folktale, the Devil turned a beautiful horse ridden by St. George (of St. George and the dragon fame) into a giant, flying insect. The Romanian names the people supposedly refed to this giant insect (when translated into English) mean ‘St. George’s Horse’ or, more commonly, ‘Devil’s Horse.’ According to Sarot, the peasantry of that time actually viewed the Devil’s Horse as a giant fly and that they may have started referring to it as the ‘Devil’s Fly’ (instead of Devil’s Horse). He stated that the Romanian word for Devil was "drac," but that drac was also the Romanian word for dragon. He thought that eventually the Romanian name for the Devil’s Fly was erroneously translated to the English Dragon Fly and this eventually evolved into the "dragonfly!"  "

The real reason for calling this small dish a "monkey dish" has been lost.  The stories in the other anser as as good as any.  They has been repeated again and again on the web (but this does not make them any more reliable).\nOthers have associated this dish with the "ramekin."\nSee the first three sites below.\nThe most reliable source that I could find states:\nThere are questions for which there are no satisfactory answers (Who named the "monkey dish?").  See the final site.

The Monkey!\n\nActually this particular year it was the "Water" Monkey....Being that the Monkey's natural element is Metal...Water simply enhances the Monkey's already gregarious nature. \n\nKeep in mind that this particular year did not start until February 4th.  So anyone born on or before Feburary 3rd, 1992 is the sign of the "Metal" Goat.  You are still the "Water" Monkey if you were born on or before January, 22, 1993, which was the last day of the "Water" Monkey's rule.\n\n:)\nPeace!

Not quite sure about this but I think the phrase may have been coined by William Burroughs. Originally referring to someone with a heroin addiction. Not sure about the monkey image either but I'd guess that if you had a monkey jump on you, it would dig its claws into your back and be quite difficult to remove (like an addiction)...of course this is all a random guess.

There's a section about it in Joe Hahn's bio on Wikipedia:\n\n"Hahn has somehow been associated with frogs. Apparently, the story goes like this; when Joe joked that he liked something green, what he had meant was money, people mistook it as frogs, for some reason. Ever since, Joe has possibly started liking frogs very much. He sometimes speaks of 'The Almighty Froggy.'"

The name is derived from an Angolan Bantu language term "Tshiluba kivili-chimpenze", which is the local name for the animal and translates loosely as "mockman" or possibly just "ape".

If you mean the monkey that was made to glow by using spliced genetic material from a jellyfish, the monkey was a rhesus monkey (Macaca mulatta).\n\nEven after genetic manipulation, it would still be a rhesus monkey, capable of reproduction with other rhesus monkeys.  I have no idea whether or not they did this to see if the glowing bred true or not.\n\nupdate:  Upon further research, it turns out that ANDi, the transgenic rhesus monkey did not even glow.  He possesses the gene transplanted from the jellyfish, but doesn't actually glow himself.  Two of his sibling brothers who were stillborn did have glowy fingernails and hair.  No one's sure if the stillbornness had anything to do with their transgenic nature.

it's part of a series of Q&A jokes, actually.\n\nQ: Why did the monkey fall out of the tree? \nA: Because he was dead \n\nQ: Why did the second monkey fall out of the tree? \nA: Because he was tied to the first monkey\n\nQ: Why did the third monkey fall out of the tree? \nA: Peer Pressure\n\nQ: Why did the squirrel fall out of the tree?\nA: Because he was doing a monkey impression\n\n\nit's pretty funny though.

something to do with kermit:)  He loves green, is green, and is a frog.  You could also just look up the name of tropical frogs that sound cool to use:)

In addition to the good answers you already have, there are also some arboreal frogs with opposable thumbs. The Phyllomedusa leaf-frogs are known as "monkey frogs" because of this feature:\nhttp://www.mongabay.com/images/peru/tambopata/Tambopata_1026_3848a.jpg\n\nMonkeys (order Primates) have opposable thumbs (not only in their hands but also opposable big toes in their feet, we're an exception). And the pandas have an opposable "pseudo thumb" that is really one of the bones of the wrist.
