Goin' Ape!
Thursday, 01.24.08 @ 12:10AM 
Of course, when I say Going Ape, I also mean monkeys, too. And lemurs. And of course, apes. The old saying goes that if you get a million monkeys typing, eventually one will produce the works of Shakespeare. The Blogosphere has proved that you can get 100 million monkeys typing, and still nothing of that quality. Speaking of which... The Bloggie nominees have been announced. Somehow, I missed the nomination period, so didn’t get the change to urge everyone to nominate my blogroll like I did last year. The result is that the only blogger I “know” in the running is Saskboy from Abandoned Stuff, who was nominated for Best Candian Blog. Go to the site and give him your vote! There are plenty of other categories you can vote in, too.

GORILLA LANGUAGE
(via Phil’s Phun)
A guy was standing in front of the gorilla cage at the zoo one day, when a gust of wind swept some dust into his eye. As he rubbed his eyelid, the gorilla went crazy, bent open the bars, and beat the guy senseless.
When the guy came to his senses, he reported the incident to the zookeeper.
Nodding, the zookeeper explained that pulling down your eyelid means "screw you" in gorilla language. The explanation didn't make the victim feel any better - and he vowed revenge.
The next day, he purchased two large knives, two party hats, two party horns, and a large sausage. Putting the sausage in his pants, he hurried to the zoo and went right up to the gorilla's cage where he opened up his bag of goodies. Knowing that gorillas were natural mimics, he put on a party hat.
The gorilla looked at him, reached through the bars, grabbed a hat from the bag, and put it on. Next, the guy picked up his horn and blew on it. The gorilla reached out, picked up his horn, and did the same. Then the man picked up his knife, whipped the sausage out of his pants, and sliced it in half.
The gorilla looked at the knife, looked at his own crotch, looked at the man, and pulled down his eyelid.

Leaping Lemurs (via Arbroath)
Sifaka lemurs of Madagascar get around by leaping. This clip from the BBC show Weird Nature: Marvelous Motion compares their movement to ballet, but it’s also reminiscent of a martial arts movie.

Ooga...what through yon leaves break? It is Gorkus, the Cross-Wired Ape of dubious antecedence and obviously human tendencies, from whom all suffer the slings and turd balls of subprimate behavior, doth hath costing me a thought vine train, thus I no canna remember what I was primately contemplating before the rude interruption. Devil lemurs, devil lemurs, I snort the banana! It is baboonifest Destiny! What is this drivel? What is drivel? What does "is" mean? Who came up with this alphabet? I will raise taxes and enlarge government, and you will grow fat, lazy and dependent upon me! Yo, wench, get over here and delouse me! I am crawling with bling-blings!
Okay, so one monkey might do better...
That, "they have a competition to see who is the fastest to get the banana" is also irrelevant, as the location of the banana is not specified.
Since the banana that I chose the location of is three feet behind me on the kitchen counter, and that a gorilla, an orangutan, and a monkey do not reside within miles of my kitchen, and that King Kong does not exist, um, ah, what was the question again? Did I win?
