Chimps are only fit to show in zoos or on television as the companions to human comedians.

There you go again, Schantieman, confusing the issue with irrelevant truths.

Well, actually, the ancestors of most modern animals species are not other modern animal species, but extinct species which were replaced by others. In many cases one species produced several offshoots which underwent speciation, in othres, only one.

Sorry if this spoils a good argument ;-)

Too right Chongo - you tell 'em. Us apes are the civilised side of the family. Personally I won't have anything to do with those long-armed, swinging, whooping gibbons, let alone little hairy monkeys.

Anyone got a light for my banana?

Oh, when I first saw this thread title my initial impulse was to put a call in to Chongo! Hey, two great minds but with one thought. Me and Chongo. We got chimpestry!

"God's finest creation."

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Heard all that before. Chimps are just banana-sucking fungoid growths on the primate family tree.

And boy, am I sick of people who make that assumption! What a ridiculous idea! Monkeys are flea-brained, scatty, and inclined to be hysterical. They're ugly too. Anyone who thinks I got any monkey genes is out to lunch. Monkeys got tails. Do you see a tail on me? NO! I ain't no monkey! Get it straight. Babboons are monkeys. Rhesus are monkeys. Capuchins are monkeys. I am a chimpanzee. If it was Darwin who started this BS about us bein' descended from monkeys then I would like to go back in a time machine and bust his chops. What a jerk! Just ask Tarzan. I ain't no monkey and there ain't none in my family either. I am 100% ape. God's finest creation.
