Curious George is NOT a Naughty Little Monkey!
HA!

Read it and weep, Murray!! I know my primates!

Should have been an anthropology major. But then I'd get REALLY pissed off going to the zoo and hear people calling even the GORILLAS "monkeys." Chimps, Bonobos, Orangutans and Gorillas are NOT Monkeys!! They're APES!!

Curious George was in question though... not all monkeys have tails (though all primates with tails are monkeys). It's hard to tell by looking at him since he's a drawing but read the article for a better idea of the deal and why the Man in the Yellow hat should be arrested for kidnapping a chimp!

My next project: a book ban on Curious George and legal rights for all apes! Chimps can vote too!!

Ahem... err... anyway. Sorry I'm so talkative today, a lot went down this weekend. Apparently while we were gone, there were party riots on Patterson st. I'm sad I missed out. I'm always game for a riot!

I was just in the Oregon Voice office and some local television reporter came by to interview some Indian guys from the student union office about the state of affairs in India. It would have been an interesting eavesdrop if the woman hadn't been an absolute idiot. I mean, she was an utter rip-off of Connie Chung but talked like a recovering valley girl and was obviously only going to be using clips from what the guys said because her interview sound-bites were entirely moronic. I don't think she knew what she was talking about or even if she got what she wanted from the guys... I think they'll be able to edit it enough to get what they want from it, though.

Oh, and I came across this CyberSisters mentoring site. Something local... might be fun for next fall IF I have time.
