Chimp Found Plotting Against Zoo Guests

rjshirts writes "In further proof that Planet of the Apes is coming to pass, researchers in Stockholm, Sweden have proof that primates can plan ahead. From the article: 'Santino the chimpanzee's anti-social behavior stunned both visitors and keepers at the Furuvik Zoo but fascinated researchers because it was so carefully prepared. According to a report in the journal Current Biology, the 31-year-old alpha male started building his weapons cache in the morning before the zoo opened, collecting rocks and knocking out disks from concrete boulders inside his enclosure. He waited until around midday before he unleashed a "hailstorm" of rocks against visitors, the study said.'"

    Nevermind the racism thing, comparing Bush to a chimp is insulting to chimps.

    I think it is insulting to the apes, to act all "Ooh, look, the can do basic stuff too, we're not that special anymore. I guess we have to find something else to show that we still are god's gift of perfection.".

    I'm sorry. This galaxy is not special. It never was. Earth is not special. It never was. Humans are not special. They never were. The white man is not special. He never was. Same shit, different times.
