Old ad from the 50's: "Nine out of ten doctors prefer camels." The tenth prefers women.

EXTRA!!!

This is so cool it's almost incredible...the Orillia Packet today published an article about a Chimpanzee retirement home, to be built soon in Shreveport, La. I kid you not. The home is for "Over-the-hill chimpanzees who will soon spend their retirement years in a Louisiana old folks home."

"Construction has begun on Chimp Haven, planned as the only preserve dedicated to chimps who have been retired as entertainers or as subjects of laboratory research. Up to 300 chimps will find themselves on 80 hectares of grass and woods for foraging, climbing, and monkeying around."

Etc..Etc... I am dead serious. This is really happening.

Chongo would be very, very happy about this. In fact, he is very happy about it, although he's not planning to retire any time soon.
