Lemurs’R'us?
My day job involves online marketing, more specifically Search Engine Optimisation / Marketing. Anyway, I've been involved in getting our products listed on Froogle - the shopping search engine from Google.
Anyway, I was reading through the FAQs - and point number 8 was fairly interesting. Remember, these are meant to be Frequently Asked Quesions:

Prosimian supplies!? They must have been inundated with enquiries from those involv
ed in the Lemur industry - I didn't know it was quite so big. They are funny wacky guys over at Mountain View.
These prosimians are funny things as well.
Interestingly enough:
Prosimians are the most primitive extant primates; they represent forms that were ancestral to monkeys, apes and humans. Prosimians are the only primates native to Madagascar, and are also found in Southeast Asia. With the exception of the tarsiers, all of the prosimians are in the suborder Strepsirrhini. Due to this reason the classification is not phylogenetically 'valid', as they do not share a unique last common ancestor, and anatomical traits.
Well, you learn something new every day…

I think it could be a typo in that qestion on Google. Should have read: pro simian - as in professional monkeys - like the ones on the PG tips adverts. They appear everywhere, tea cards, tea parties, tea-towels - so I imagine the demand for such products are really quite high.
