Monkey Day
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Monkey Day is a holiday celebrated on December 14. The holiday was created in 2000 by art students at Michigan State University, including Casey Sorrow, the former artist of popular webcomic Fetus-X. Those who celebrate Monkey Day see it as an opportunity to educate the public about monkeys, as a holiday that supports evolution rather than religious themes, and an excuse to throw monkey-themed costume parties.
There is also an annual Monkey Day Web Comic Marathon. In 2005, Peter Jackson's King Kong was released on the fifth anniversary of Monkey Day.
