Well, we have a stubed bone at the top of our bums, (you can feel it) which is in the exact same position as the monkeys tale.

Also our appendix has no function, in the monkey is is used to help them break down things such as leaves.

Thats enough evidence for me, think what you will.

you really believe the tail bone is vestigial? you need your tailbone, bro, trust me. lol.

as far as the appendix goes, doesnt the appendix have something to do with immunity to diseases? can somebody elaborate on this?

To be vestigial it doesn't have to be useless, merely to have lost its original purpose.

But in any case, truly useless things in humans include the muscles in our ears, goose bumps and the remains of a third eyelid.

where do you suspect goose bumps and a third eyelid are traced back to?

I don't know about this crazy third eyelid thing, but I'm pretty sure the actual purpose of goose bumps was to make our hair stand on end to keep us warm, like birds that fluff themselves up.  And I don't think we really have enough hair to make it effective anymore.  

so would you say that these are valid evidences of evolution? does this really prove that we share a common ancestor with other types of animals?

It ... suggests that we used to be a lot hairier.  

I'm a bit confused, I thought you were asking for examples of vestigial stuff.  And then I thought your recent post asked how those two examples were in fact vestigial instead of some other kind of weirdness -- was asking what their old purpose was.  

So ... was I wrong?   

[edit:  To put it another way, our having goosebumps suggests that we are descended from a primate species that was hairy, which we are not in comparison.]
