Did any O' Y'all watch Horizon (BBC2 9pm) yesterday?

It was about the PG Tips monkeys torturing/butchering other chimp colonies, ripping other primates to bits and even grabbing human babies and eating them!

I ******* hate the little ******* now!

mj

what, the actual ones from the adverts?

V45DSM

Yeah, they reckon the caffeine sent them tonto!

TelBoy

I did, yes. Sort of disappointing ending though i thought; saying that the chimps they'd studied in Gombe were warped because of human intervention.

Still, amazing that they're 99+% the same DNA. I wonder if they'll ever cross a chimp/human egg/sperm thingy. Could be interesting...

They have been musings on making human-chimp chimaera for years, it has been technically possible for a while. It would be interesting to see what characteristics are inherited by each species, in some cases the results may be remarkably close to the originals

TelBoy

Yes, it could all be a bit chaotic, don't you think?

ajm

lol

They were just like humans - take football hooligans for example. Same principle of enjoyment from organised violence, adrenaline pumping, gaining dominance and gang bonding. They loved getting one over - just like humans.

Very insightfull!

I think those Monkeys need a good spanking myself.

Anyway, what Chimps do is no different to humans, were just more sneaky.

V45DSM

How can you sneakly hold someone down, beat on their chest until their ribs poke through, rip their finger nails out and tear their ********* off as if it were a paper towel. Pure Evil

Did you see the program about Oliver the Chimp a few weeks ago? He walked upright, smoked and even fliped his owner over and tried to skuttle her. They reckon he's the offspring of some unholy african/pet monkey union.
