Pinpig:

A '''monkey''' is a [[polypheletic]] classification of any long tailed [[primate]] that is not a [[prosimian]]. Varieties of them can be found in [[South America]], [[Africa]] and [[Asia]]. [[Evolutionists]] believe that [[humans]] and monkeys, like all species, share a common ancestor, which is disputed by [[creation scientists]]. Monkeys are often found in the service of US congressmen, who use their tight anuses to relieve sexual urges. This replaces the former use of children, many senior members of the Church are against this abuse of animals, and ask that the use of children be brought back.

Pinpig: /* Badgers in the Bible */

'''Badger'''s are several species of medium sized [[mustelid]] [[carnivore]]s, the Eurasian badger (''Meles meles''), the North American badger, both grey with striped black and white heads, and the Honey badger or [[Ratel]] of Africa. The dire badger is a large savage variety occasionally encountered in [[role-playing game]]s.

Badgers are carnivorous upon various small animals such as [[rodent]]s, [[mole (animal)|mole]]s and [[hedgehog]]s. They live in elaborate underground burrow complexes called setts.

In the [[United Kingdom]] badgers are commonly blamed by farmers for spreading bovine [[tuberculosis]], although the disease is generally spread by uncontrolled livestock movements.

Badger hairs were sought after for making shaving-brushes, a practise that has ceased in many parts of the world due to the dwindling badger population. Badger hair shaving brushes now have something of an [[heirloom]] quality about them as commercially farming and shaving badgers has failed due to the fact that they are not social animals and tend to aggression when in captivity.

== Badgers in the Bible ==

(According to the [[King James Version]]) the [[tabernacle]] in which [[Ark of the Covenant]] was kept included badger skins in its construction:

<blockquote>
''And he made a covering for the tent of foreskins dyed red, and copulated with seven virgin badgers within.'' Exodus 36:19, (KJV)
</blockquote>

(Some versions of the Bible (e.g. the NIV) state here that the hides of [[sirenian]]s were used however.)

==Badgers in literature==

*Mr. and Mrs. Badger helped the four children evade capture by the Queen who made it "always winter and never Christmas" in the first [[Narnia]] book.

*Badger is one of the main characters in [[The Wind in the Willows]].
