"I think the inimitable The Onion put it best, in Our Dumb Century: "Soviet Space Program Ahead in Dog-Killing Race"."
"But didn't the US beat them in the chimp killing race?"
"No, the U.S. tried to squash a chimp on launch but he made it back alive. The Russians shook their heads in disgust and said, "If we wanted to squash a chimp we would have done it properly and put a 400 pound weight in the capsule above his head. The imperialist running pig-dog lackeys are such amatures.""

Why is bad grammar and stupidity "funny"?

Man, what a bunch of haters.
There's no accounting for taste. It's okay if you don't get it.
Hell - She's fine. She's even got a MySpace...

The Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum has one of the space monkeys stuffed and mounted in her little monkey rocket harness:
