When you put your mouse over the chimp picture (in the ‘Chimps Outwit College Students’ article) it says monkey. A chimp in is NOT a monkey – but an APE. Enough of this Monkey-Business already.
Our closest relative deserves more serious recognition.

What? Reply to myself? OK then, …I have herewith officially replied. I have no doubt that the world will be a better place because of it.
Cheerio,

That picture was a steal from Google images and the label came with it. I’m fully aware that chimps are apes. But good catch anyway.

Hi expatbrian,
I am very glad that you know your monkey-business.
With so many monkeys around these days, that knowledge is very useful, if not essential.
(If more would have known, Super-Monkey Bush may not have been voted into office – TWICE!)
YeeHaw ! ! !
