SUMMARY: An interesting and informative read, and one that's sure to raise a few laughs. The Museum of Hoaxes awards it four out of five banana peels.


Sir John Hargrave, as he’s now legally known, is host of the zug.com website. He has authored Prank the Monkey, a humourous book chronicling the various pranks, tricks and hoaxes he has perpetrated on deserving parties over the course of his prankster career.

John says: ”It’s not that I have a problem with authority; it’s that I have a problem with senseless authority. I have no problems with rules, just ridiculous rules."

Prank the Monkey certainly follows through on his reasoning. The book covers pranks involving everyone from Wal-Mart to Ashton Kutcher, from real-estate spammers to US senators.

Sounds good to me

Sir John Hargrave can prank my monkey anyday.

I am so very clever. Play on words there. Oh my!

Hargrave's a punk. He owes me a lot of money. Buy his book so he can get the cash he needs to keep my goons at bay.

PS. I hear he's got a nice butt, all inflamed and monkey-like.

How do I know the books not a prank and I will get 347 pages of monkey photos?

Maybe it is...
Actually, I wouldn't mind a book full of pictures of monkeys - that'd be pretty cool.

I read the first few pages and knew this book was going to be great!
