Fascinating stuff. Planet of the Apes here we come.

Wasnt there also something about chimps using two rocks like a hammer and anvil to creach open nuts?

they get more human everyday- Its like evolution at the speed of light

I mean, who here can honestly say they dont find this attractive?

haven't the chimps learned from our folly?
first one chimp makes a spear
then another chimp makes a bigger spear.
this will only lead to bigger spears

Saw a fascinating documentary on chimps the other day:

they don't make ads like that anymore
apparantly it's "cruel"

I read recently that any animal that is as close as humans and chimps are biologically speaking should be able to interbreed. Some animals are close enough to interbreed, but they produce offspring that can't produce offspring of their own like horses and donkeys, but with humans and chimps it would be a hybrid capable of breeding too. Creeepy...

I dunno. People never cease to be amazed about this stuff. But for me I always just think humans are such arrogant fucks.
My fish, no messing *FISH*, are smart. The fly around in their massive tank, watching things. They know when I am trying to catch one of them, or when I am cleaning the tank, or when I am feeding them. They behave completely differently.

They are sitting in there, watching everything that's going on in the room. They will all swim over to one end of the tank to watch us eating dinner.

And these are fish. Little stupid fish.
We are talking about chimps here, we are really close to them by any measure. While we happily plough through differential calculus, we are amazed when these animals poke sticks in holes. Such arrogance.

I just keep on thinking that we seriously underestimate the thinking abilities of all animals on this planet.

I read somewhere that a group of orangutans opened a McDonalds in Northern China, and that they are currently in regotiations with Starbucks about a possible franchise

You're fine as long as you stick to proper, old-fashioned, man-on-ladyape action. None of that gay shit.
