They'll Get Their 'People' To Call Your People

You can watch a movie shot by chimpanzees here, (don't worry, they're not making porn. Yet) and it's not bad, though the plot seems a bit disjointed (2 out of 5 stars).

But in the 'relevant stories' sidebar from the BBC archive at this link, there is a jarring list of headlines from recent years about our hairier relatives, and just how intelligent we're learning they actually are.

Chimps use cleavers to chop food

Chimps born to appreciate music

Chimps mentally map fruit trees

Chimpanzees exchange meat for sex

'Armed' chimp gets honey reward

Zoo chimp 'planned' stone attacks

Chimpanzees 'hunt using spears'

Remember, one day they will learn to learn to communicate over the internet, and then they will hit the archives, so we should be careful what we say about them.

If you've ever been interrogated by a bunch of angry, righteously spiteful apes, you already know how unpleasant it can be.

Go Chimps!
