Chicago Suburb’s Museum’s Sock Monkey Display Sets World Record in Extremely Important Development
In a shocking display of societal progress, a museum in the Chicago suburbs has managed to break a Guinness World Record with one of the most impressive collections of monkey-themed socks the world has ever seen.
The Elmhurst Art Museum’s sock monkey display has managed to surpass the previous record of 1,798 sock monkeys, and stand tall (or sit adorably) as the largest sock monkey display ever assembled in recorded history. Despite the fact that no one has ever thought to keep records of sock monkey collections before, this is still a landmark event.
The display was made up of 2,098 sock monkeys, each carefully crafted to resemble cute, fuzzy little primates. The exhibition was a stunning display of ingenuity, creativity, and a deep love for everything that could be constituted as “monkey-related.”
While some may argue that the display represented a frivolous waste of resources, others point out that the Elmhurst Art Museum’s display is exactly what the world needs to keep civilization rolling. After all, in a time when everything seems to be going wrong, it’s important to take a step back and realize that sock monkeys are capable of bringing people together in a way that nothing else can.
The sock monkeys themselves were representative of a wide range of styles and themes. Some were intricately detailed homages to gorillas, while others were a little more playful, featuring sock monkeys engaging in what could only be described as “sock monkey hijinks.”
For those who weren’t able to attend the event themselves, the museum was kind enough to provide a live stream of the display, so anyone could admire the beauty of the socks with monkey faces. Some people have even expressed an interest in purchasing their own sock monkeys, in the hopes of starting their own sock monkey army at home.
But beyond all of the frivolity and fun, there was an important message behind the Elmhurst Art Museum’s display. That message, of course, was that people can accomplish just about anything if they put their minds to it, including building the world’s greatest sock monkey exhibit.
Whether or not this record-breaking display will have any long-term impact on the world at large remains to be seen. But for now, at least, the world can rest easy knowing that once again, Chicago has managed to rise to the top of the monkey-themed sock world.
We can only hope that this stunning achievement will encourage more people around the world to take up their own sock monkey-related passions, and help make the world just a little bit more manageable in the process.
