fatgav writes "The BBC is running an article about wild gorillas being seen to use tools in the wild. It is especially significant as not only have Gorillas never been seen to use tools, but they have been using them in a way unlike other great apes. From the article: 'The most astonishing thing is that we have observed them using tools not for obtaining food, but for postural support.' The scientists are getting excited as it can help to explain questions as to how the most advanced great ape (us) came to evolve."

Maybe they'll use tools like us... by Anonymous Coward · 2005-09-30 20:14 · Score: -1, Troll

And then they can become suicide bombers and blow up loads of innocent monkeys, just because other monkeys ate their bananas - because we all know, any ape that is not a gorilla is an INFIDEL!

And then they can get to heaven and be surrounded by 40 women attending to their every desire!

Whoopee!
