Anyone see a bright star in the East? :)

Charlton Heston is deeply saddened.

Where IS Joey Buttafucco these days?

ROFL! I was trying to think of a clever remark along those lines.

Chimp Haven managers said they knew something was up..............OOOOKAY!

"In a mysterious bit of monkey business, a female at a chimpanzee sanctuary has given birth, despite the fact that the facility's entire male chimp population has had vasectomies."

LOL! I knew a guy who pastored a church in California who had a vasectomy and his wife got pregnant several years later. There was some fast talking going on! They are not 100% guaranteed.

Has Billy Clinton been the area?

Now managers at Chimp Haven are planning a paternity test for the seven males who lived in a group with Teresa, a wild-born chimpanzee in her late 40s who had the baby girl last week.

Musta been a real two-bagger.

Bubbles is saddened.

Any Arabs in the area?

I saw a Discovery Channel special on this sanctuary a few weeks ago. There are a LOT of NASA chimps still alive from the days of Ham, the first chimp in space. NASA leased them out to pharmaceutical companies for years when they had no further use for them. Many are HIV positive from AIDS research, though they don't have AIDS. It's very sad how they were treated. Several sanctuaries have opened up to care for them in their old age. It's sad what they have gone through.

Frog DNA??? Chaos Theory????

vasectomies don't always work.

I was dating a girl years back and was at her house when her folks came home after discussing that her mom was prego again after her dad had his tubes cut. It was a tense evening...

He went back to the doctors and it was checked and he tubes grew back together and he was the father (again, tense couple of days in that marriage).

I love your tag line! Heinlein's "Starship Trooper" has been one of my favorite books since reading it in the early 70's. In fact, I give it (if I can find a copy) to every young person entering military service. The movie was an utter travesty.

Colonel, USAFR

Maybe it was a Yeti??

Nifong has proof that a member of the Duke lacrosse team is the father.

[gcruse]

It's a sign from Jesus. Another virgin birth.

[Nevernow]

As sad as animal testing is, I'd rather they do it on animals than on humans.

A friend of mine was the Meta-Data manager at Pfizer in CT. He had access to all levels except one. Apparently there is a troop of sexually deranged monkeys down there. Wheeeeeeeeeeee!

"The supreme irony of life is that hardly anyone gets out of it alive."

When I read that in Bob Heinlein's Job: A Comedy of Justice little did I know how much it would mean nowadays as I get closer to 60...

BTW the more I hear from the Democrats, the more I recall Heinlein saying, "Stupidity cannot be cured with money, or through education, or by legislation. Stupidity is not a sin, the victim can't help being stupid. But stupidity is the only universal capital crime; the sentence is death, there is no appeal and execution is carried out automatically and without pity."

Alas... If only!

It is a modern mystery. I'd check the zookeepers, who are the closet things to a butler, and in old mysteries, the butler always did it.
