So there's this book I vaguely remember reading when I was a kid, and for the past twenty years or so I've thought about it on and off and wished I could read it again. I'm not even sure why, because it wasn't my favourite book or anything, but something about it stuck with me, and because we lost all our books when the house burnt down I had no viable way of tracking it down since I couldn't remember the title, author, or even the character names.

Tonight I was randomly thinking about it again, and decided the internet was old enough now that maybe I might be able to track it down in time even with the very little I remembered about it. This is the exact search string I entered into google:

"monkey lost jewels model ship"

The VERY FIRST hit was someone looking for the same book as me, with an accompanying answer. Took me all of fifteen seconds, and that's including the time it took me to read the page.

Thank you, internets! You rock!
