No, this isn't our newest columnist. But he is here to help. Got something to say, but need a new way to say it? Try out Monk-e-mail, an audio-e-mail service brought to you by Careerbuilder,  of all places. After all Careerbuilder is there to get you a job and Monk-e-mail is there to help you waste time at your current job.

Anyway, when you visit the monk-e-mail homepage, you're greeted by the gentleman on the left: "You got something to say, I've got a nap to take, so let's get going."

First you choose your chimp from a variety of characters, then you accessorize your chimp, and then give him/her a voice. And you've got some very cool choices: a pre-recorded message, text to speech, record by phone and record by mic.

My favorite option was text to speech. I sent a few messages to my buddy using the voice of a male British chimp (Simon) dressed up like a female schoolteacher. Like YouTube and MySpace, this site is VERY addictive. Consider yourself warned. (Not unlike the Send Your Friend a Phone Call from Samuel L. Jackson" service that I posted about not too long ago. (Unfortunately, it seems its no longer available, but you'll be able to hear that excellent Cobra Starship song if you visit the site now.)

So go ahead, try it. . .
