Why do I find this funny?

Today I got my new Lego mail order catalogue though the post.  (You think this is strange for some reason? Shame on you.) Anyhoo, I found the description for set 7880 "Duplo Big Pirate Ship" to be really funny. At the end it says "Includes four pirates and a monkey." For some reason that I can't explain I just find this amusing.

We all have our moments where we are amused by the simplest things. Hehe.

You work at dcs.hull.ac.uk and you wonder why "four pirates and a monkey" sounds funny?

I liked the lecture, it was the best part of the ACE day. i found it interesting when you were programming the tamagotchi. can you tell me what software did you use? because i'd like to have a go at it.
