New Great Ape Discovered?

Posted by michael on from the guy-in-a-monkey-suit dept.

DrLudicrous writes "CNN is running a story about sightings of an ape in central Africa that doesn't seem to fit the description of known apes. Pictures of the animal are rare, but it seems slightly taller than most gorillas, with a flatter face. One woman even reported seeing it walk upright on two legs. It has been hypothesized that the ape might be a new species, a subspecies, or perhaps a hybrid between two other species."

    i sit on my pc pissed when my cable modem goes out or i have an electricity surge/brownout, and it takes me 20mins to decide what to eat for lunch/dinner etc

    and all the slashdot articles are talking about SCO and Intellectual Property and the last episode of Futurama and filtering spam emails

    and then i run across a /. post talking about the people in the Congo who have "recently been slaughtering one another with pretty much anything at hand"

    reminds me of 28 days later
