It's a common misconception of mankind. Those of us who have come to understand the 'truth' (if you wish to call it that) still have to keep reminding ourselves of it from time to time as we all get caught up in the day to day things that distract us from it.
I have to doff my cap to someone so well schooled in the ways of Monkey, Pigsy and Sandy! Its been a fair while since I have seen an episode and I can't claim to have seen the whole series  Although I have noticed that the series is at a good price on Amazon so may well be investing myself in the not too distant future.

Well, all episodes now watched. It's a shame the TV series never completed the actually story, but it's good to have watched the 13 episodes never screened on UK tv before too. Anyhow, I'm also reading the book (Journey to the West, which is a little more comprehensive, at least the version I'm reading is as it's the translated Chinese version (nearly 2400 pages)
Journey to the West: Amazon.co.uk: Cheng'en Wu, W.J.F. Jenner: Books) and I'm on chapter 70 odd of 100. Loving it!

In light of this I feel my icon is currently somewhat fraudulent , so for the time being I've parked the pink cloud and my profile has been updated accordingly .

Awww, shame, I liked seeing you as Monkey. Nothing fraudulent about that.
