Title: Planet of the Apes and Dolphins
Post by: Viking on July 28, 2012, 06:43:23 AM
First we had the dolphins with opposable thumbs

http://www.theonion.com/articles/dolphins-evolve-opposable-thumbs,284/

QuoteIt is unknown what precipitated the dolphins' sudden development of opposable thumbs. Some dolphin behaviorists believe that the gentle marine mammal, pushed to the brink by humanity's reckless pollution and exploitation of the sea, tapped into some previously unmined mental powers to spontaneously generate a thumb-like appendage. However, given that 95 percent of the world's dolphin experts have committed suicide since learning of the development, the full story may never be known.

now we have Gorillas fighting back destroying snares

QuoteField staff of the Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund in Rwanda report that on Monday they saw several young gorillas destroying snares – which maim and often kill gorillas – with their bare hands.


I for one welcome our new Cephalo-Simian overlords.

Good.  The Apes can rise up, and Dan Marino can lead them.

I never would have thought Spain would be the first one to side with the non-humans.

Well, they have had to live with the Portuguese, so Apes wouldn't be much different.

That reminds me, if Israel does a call up of reserves and and you still work for the US army, who gets priority?

He'd serve the country he's truly loyal to--China.

This is why countries with compulsory military service often don't allow dual citizenships. I have a friend who can't go to turkey because his father had been a turkish citizen at one time, though he never was, and the Turkish Army considers him a draft dodger (he has already done norwegian military service, he likes cross country skiiing and outdoors kind of stuff so he liked it).

The question is do they know its harmfull and they're destroying it or they're just doing what gorillas/many animals do and break shit for the hell of it.

They know what they're for. Wolves can learn to fear man's firesticks, and Gorillas have learned fear of our iron jaws.
