"As they passed the rows of houses they saw through the open doors that men were sweeping and dusting and washing dishes, while the women sat around in groups, gossiping and laughing.
"What has happened?" the Scarecrow asked a sad-looking man with a bushy beard, who wore an apron and was wheeling a baby-carriage along the sidewalk.
"Why, we've had a revolution, your Majesty -- as you ought to know very well," replied the man; "and since you went away the women have been running things to suit themselves. I'm glad you have decided to come back and restore order, for doing housework and minding the children is wearing out the strength of every man in the Emerald City."
"Hm!" said the Scarecrow, thoughtfully. "If it is such hard work as you say, how did the women manage it so easily?"
"I really do not know," replied the man, with a deep sigh. "Perhaps the women are made of cast-iron.""

I give you the Buffy-headed Marmoset (Callithrix flaviceps).
This little guy lives in a small area of south-east Brazil between the rivers Doce and ParaÃba.
He's cute, and just as baffled as you are as to why no one's posting on Thinklings.

Ah yes... I know, I know. But I, unlike the Thinklings, am only one person - despite multiple personalities! How many bloggers do they have here anyway? Not counting the non-posting mythical chick variety, I mean.
He also has remarkable psychic powers.... I was just thinking it was time for me to beg the almighty thinklings to "POST SOMETHING". Thank you De. I feel better already.
