Funny, I was just wondering how the chimps would respond to a Moochele school lunch meal, and I think you nailed it.

I remember a trip to “The Monkey Jungle” when I was young in Miami. There was a sign at the chimp exhibit which said, “Throw chimps a peanut and they will clap for you”. When you did, all they’d do in return was fart and throw their feces back at the crowd.
Maybe that’s intelligence of some sort.

OK as long as they can tell the difference between ‘rare’ and ‘medium’ when cooking steaks. A local ‘national’ steak house apparently does not...............

I believe it. I’ve seen The Cooking Channel.

The findings, based on nine experiments conducted at the Tchimpounga Sanctuary in Republic of Congo and published in Proceedings of the Royal Society B, suggest that chimps have all the brainpower needed to cook, including planning, causal understanding, and ability to postpone gratification. They do lack the ability to produce fire.
So, then... ...chimps DO NOT have all the brainpower needed to cook.
The people who decided what the experiments "suggested" are delusional, stupid, liars, or some combination of all three.

When I see chimps in the wild start cooking the chimp they just killed in a fight...
I’d be impressed...

I can’t decide if its sexist, racist, speciesist, or just hateful and bigoted.
But clearly you are guilty of SOME offense against polite society.

Minimum wage would still go up and chimps would get to vote.

I like to drop a shot glass full of Jaegermeister into a mug of dark beer. Tastes great with a medium/full-bodied madura wrapped cigar.

Not THAT'D be Restaurant Impossible! But undoubtedly six steps up from a fast-food joint staffed with urban ferals! I mean, the monkeys may pick their butts between orders, but at least it wouldn't be intentionally malicious...

They’re very good steamed over salt water in the microwave, then drizzled with olive oil and roasted in a regular oven with dried cranberries, a bit of garlic and parmesan.
Sounds weird, but they’re tasty that way and it’s a good side with Thanksgiving turkey.
