LOL.

BTW, I'm loving your Vermont photos -- my husband & I went there for our honeymoon and have dreamed of going back ever since.

Oh, I know you know...but I am required by law* to correct people on the correct usage of monkey/ape, whether from ignorance or intentional, i.e. the word 'monkey' is far funnier than the word 'ape'.





*The law being my own insane neurotic nature, and the monkey/ape thing always setting off the trigger. :P

Hey there - appears you're a mod in the 'teh music' community? I've submitted two posts, all bold, by accident - that's how my LJ client has been doing them, using their 'bold' button. Sorry! I hate how it looks too, not on purpose.

In Holland some people go often to the zoo to bond with the apes. They make funny faces to them through the glass or from over the boundery of water. A few weeks ago a woman who especially liked one gorilla and made often contact with him, is attacked by that gorilla. He escaped over the water and went for her. She was badly wounded.

Here is the link to a paper (in Dutch sadly). I hope it works.

I do realize the article in this entry is a joke. And it is funny.

Zoos usually have a special enclosure for the few animals who can't destroy unarmed humans at will mostly. it's called 'the petting zoo' and i saw 'mostly' because once a llama chased my brother around the petting zoo twice.

Didn't some kids try to punch a giraffe recently? And didn't it lay them all out Stone-Cold Steve Austin style?

That is awesome!! Although there are days when I would totally let kids ride with the sharks or race the cheetahs, if we had either of those. Did you see this one I posted a while back? It's from their video podcast. You should SO subscribe!!
