Don't make a monkey out of yourself

Life imitates a Simpsons episode:

NASA worker #1: People, we're in danger of losing our funding. America isn't interested in space exploration any more.
NASA worker #2: Maybe we should finally tell them the big secret... that all the chimps we sent into space came back super-intelligent.
Super-intelligent Chimp: No, I don't think we'll be telling them that. (he leaves the room on roller skates)

I'd love intelligent chimps. I'm sure they'll be more interesting to talk to than some of the people I work with...

Would they be cleaner too? You know, less inclined to throwing faeces when they get upset?

Last time I heard one of them speak, she was boasting about smelling her own faeces...what she does with it I don't want to know...

Oh. My. Gawd.

PS: Reminds me about German toilets and the weird "shelf" thing they have in them. Why? Apparently a long tradition of inspecting your faeces. For health reasons, apparently...

Dare I ask what they look out for...?

Probably undigested bratwurst...
