Yikes! What a transformation.

The poor little guys are probably in shock and have decided to sleep until the weather improves. Chimps do not like snow.

For God's sake! What an exercise in futility. It reminds me of the average North American fast food worker or office worker on their job. Round and round and round they go...where they stop nobody knows, let alone cares...

I think I'll just take your word for the shit cams.

Personally, I still think that Crazy Horse has them all beat. Far worse than the paint and cheese. BTW, I thought it would be funny to find a shit cam so I went looking. Most disgusting stuff I have ever found on the net......and if I am grossed out it HAS to be bad!!!

Now here's something that has a lot of action seemingly until you notice they aren't really doing a gawddamn thing!!!

You have to refresh the page, Liz, to get the picture to update. Otherwise it just keeps showing the last time you looked, even if it was 16 hours ago.

I have seen a couple of chimps there once so far....I definitely spotted two little black lumpy figures...but only once. And it's just a still image. Not nearly as good as the San Diego site.

Date: 27 Nov 07 - 11:38 AM

Someone needs to phone up the Washoe zoo and tell them their camera is stuck. It's still showing the same time and image as it did when I last looked 3 hours ago.

Since then, I've disposed of 80+ pieces of post (don't worry, I was supposed to dispose of them) and travelled home.

At 13.31 Tuesday GMT, it says it's 4.41pm Monday in the chimp's enclosure... I'm not sure that the image is being updated, but it is dark there. If I want to watch apes blundering around in the dark and doing sod all, I just look over the top of my partitions here at work.

Regretably, my work computer will not allow me access to the more active orangs in San Diego.

Well if that's an area with 'relatively high traffic', then I'd hate to see the weeds in the 'quiet' areas... they must be getting on for 2ft high in there. High traffic my ass, it's an empty pen and they're really sitting there laughing at the poor saps who log on.

I'm sticking with the orangs, at least I've seen them!

Gad, Tweed, you DO lust for controversy and ill will, don't you? ;-) I am well aware that Penelope's hatred for you knows no bounds, though I am unaware what the original cause was for her ire. I can only hope that these latest ill-considered remarks of yours escape her attention. I've heard rumours that her marriage has entered a period that can more or less be compared to the situation between the 2 Koreas...a permanent de-militarized zone. I would not be too surprised if she were at least pondering finding solace in the arms of some more suitable partner than the arrogant Winston Wellington-Jones, but I trust she would keep it discreet if she found one. (I note that she has ceased referring to herself as Penelope Rutledge Wellington-Jones!) Then again, perhaps she is simply burying herself in her charitable work assisting homeless animals and other innocent victims of abuse. Twillingsgate has been rather quiet of late. Haven't heard nowt about her niece Veronica either...

Strange practices going on in the Congo:

Oliver, the half human Chimpanzee

Harg, that chimp-cam site is perfectly awful. I've yet to see a single monkey during several visits and suspect you've set up a faux site with a picture of the howler monkey's cage at the St. Louis zoo for a backdrop.

Tsk tsk!! I expect our Miz Rutledge would chastise you severely for this one, except she's probably out whoring about as is her want and hasn't seen it yet. Gird yore loins laddie, she is a viper as well as a high class harlot.

Hey have you got a chimp on your shoulder?

When you put the most human looking chimp next to the most chimp looking human that 1 tenth of 1% DNA difference is really apparent.

Didja ever see the show on the chimp they thought may have been fathered by a human?

I can't figure it with those chimps. What a bunch of dullards! Or maybe they did a breakout, escaped, and are now partying with Chongo in Chicago, and no one has noticed that they're gone.

Thanks so much for the links to watching the paint dry. Given the iminent demise of this earth I often find myself singing Lou and Peter Barryman's ditty "Why Am I Painting the Livingroom." Now I've got something to watch as well.

The Friends of Washoe organization provides a webcam of some chimps' play areas, both indoor and outdoor. It's not a live film, unfortunately, but you do get to see a refreshed still shot of each area every 30 seconds approximately.
