CAULIMONK


They developed a way to keep alive the brain of a monkey without any need for the rest of the monkey.

That brain was connected to a computer and it was taught how to read and write. Next it was surfing the Web, and blogging, and you could have never guessed it.

Later they connected that one brain to another. There was born the two monkey power brain or computer. Then came the 16 monkey power brain, quickly followed by the 64 monk pb. As it became harder and harder to hook up more brains together, they got the help of the already connected brains. They managed to create a 232-monk power brain and called that the “cauliflower” or Caulimonk.

“Build a space station for me,” Caulimonk said. So they made one with solar panels and everything needed for Caulimonk to grow its own synthetic organic healthy banana flavored liquid food. Caulimonk became Space Caulimonk. From up there it was controlling planes and boats and trains and all. Its brain kept on growing. . . One day Caulimonk landed on the Moon where it dug itself a hole. There it had more room, and it felt safer away from humanity.

“There is a monkey living in the Moon.” people would say. Somebody asked Caulimonk how much brain power it had by now. “About a hundred billion monkey brains and growing.” Caulimonk said. But what was it doing?

Watching television! A sort of improved television that was, but it had no antenna, and it was black and white, and soundless, and its tiny screen had only one million pixels. “That’s enough for me to see a lot of things,” explained Caulimonk. Indeed, it was examining every possible drawing composed of one million black or white pixels. That amounted to a lot of pictures, an extraordinary big number of pictures, but the brain of Caulimonk was still growing, and it had found a way to live forever or almost.

For seven thousand years it kept on watching its silly looking TV screen. Among the pictures there was one that helped the monkey to send information backward in time (thus you and I are reading this.) But Caulimonk kept on searching and searching until it found what it was really hoping for: the plan for a simple device, a sort of switch, a button.

Now when Caulimonk is done building that button and his monkey brain grows itself a finger to push on it, the Universe will shut down.
