RIP Michael Nesmith, wanted to compose a clue but failed, would have gone with mathprof@28 but don't think a monkey's an ape.
Of course the Araucaria tributes jono@18, spike2@32
Also buddy@7, spike2@31

Geeker, I would be inclined to agree with you about monkey/ape but Chambers thinks differently under both entries.

Chambers wrong again! You could argue (though I wouldn't) that an ape is a monkey, but a monkey definitely isn't an ape!
