Help Your Monkey Make Beautiful Noise

There’s a door in ThinkGeek HQ which leads to another dimension (and no, we don’t mean the bathroom). In this other dimensional Earth, which we call Moorhtab, Spock has a beard and monkeys are as plentiful and beautiful as butterflies (and they fly too). It is indeed a great sight to see a flock of Moorhtabian Monkeys chiming in the wind. They chime because of the magnetic stones their carry in their little sacks. It was such an unusual noise, we knew we had to find a way to share it with you, our customers. Lucky for us, Moorhtabian Monkeys love string cheese, so a giant trade deal was made. Now, it is our pleasure to present, for this first time in this dimension, Singing Monkey Balls.

A few tips & tricks for your Singing Monkey Balls...

  • The Spinner - Start off by clasping the Monkey Balls between your thumb and two fingers. Squeezing gently will spin the Monkey Balls briefly in the air, producing a mysterious whistle. Try spinning them from one hand into the other. The higher into the air you spin them, the longer they whistle. (Please be sure no real Monkeys are in the vicinity when trying this trick, they may become disturbed.)
  • The Pendulum - Hold one Monkey ball between your fingers and thumb, then attach the second ball to the bottom of the first. Gently swing the balls back and forth like a pendulum. For an even greater challenge, see how close you can bring the second Monkey Ball to perpendicular before they clash together.
  • The Pinch - Place the Monkey Balls on a smooth surface, pinch the ends together with your thumb and forefinger, then release. The balls will emit a pleasant fluttering sound as they spin around the surface. Experiment with different surfaces to produce varying noises.

WARNING: This product is very magnetic. Always keep a safe distance (at least 20 inches) from magnetic storage media and sensitive electronic equipment such as: portable hard disks, pacemakers, credit cards, laptops and especially CRT monitors!

PLEASE NOTE: Singing Monkey Balls are not indestructible. Only kryptonite is indestructible and ThinkGeek does not carry that yet. Avoid dropping the balls onto hard surfaces. Never ever ingest them and keep them away from live monkeys.
