From the zoo


There are some things children should not be exposed to. Gunfire, for instance, but not this.

Oh, the humanity!
The desperate screams and sobs of all those traumatised children sound just like fits of laughter. Breaks my heart, it does.

They are obviously hysterical from the trauma, and will need much therapy.

First point: well, good, the kids will be normal. Victorian farm girls probably knew more about what it meant to be "well hung" and where the well-hung object went than their city cousins any day.

Second point: lady chimp doesn't get much foreplay does she? He just portrays his masculinity and she strides over and bends down in invitation.

Third point: how does he flap it about like that? I'd like to be able to manipulate my own in such a prehensile manner ...

Not as much as the Batman, when I'm done having the last (hysterical) laugh! HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!

Well, Final, chimps are well known for their very relaxed attitide toward sex. They'll shag any time of the day, the same way we humans might say a casual "hi" to each other.
Why? Well, it strengthens their social bonds, keeps them relaxed, and because they plain enjoy it!!! It's so natural and common, they often do it without "going all the way", really like a mutually friendly gesture.

Regarding the "prehensility" matter, I'm not sure given the quality of the film, and have no information about it. I know Dolphins have such an ability (which must be very useful when you mate while swimming). As far as I know, apes "work" pretty much the same way we do. For instance, they don't have a baculum ("penis bone") either, contrarily to canines.

"I'd like to be able to manipulate my own in such a prehensile manner..."

Wouldn't we all! Take a number and stand in line.

I'd really rather just have an attractive female member of my species walk up to me and acquiesce as willingly. I'll leave the prehensility for another lifetime. :)

With enough monkeying around on blogs in the company of Lebanese oddballs (pun intended), you might just get your wish! I hear that you shape your next karma during the previous lifetime.
