Monikins

Well if you haven't heard the Monikins are in the news again. It seems they have been holding celebrations about the warming earth. They have great hopes that their archipelago of kingdoms located near the Antarctic will prosper with the longer summers and warmer winters. What's a little flooding in the lowlands? They have even considered renaming some of their seasons. Such as the season of nuts rather than the season of ice.
Since their currency is not money, but promises (which has the dual advantages of being impossible to burn or steal) - they have a difficult time advertising their cool kingdoms or attracting much industry. This has caused them to be non newsworthy since 1962. That was the year of the last big news splash from the Monikins. As many may remember it was their assertion that man will eventually develop into a Monikin. To this day they continue to insist that humans will one day have their seat of reason in a long lovely tail, rather than the brain. They think this warming trend will help this process along. According to their research this is precisely what is happening. So, if you find yourself near their islands, fly low and quiet, maybe you will hear the yips and yowls of their joy!
