Now, what is it that distinguishes man from animals? Something certainly does. But it is intelligence? Language? The ability to consider oneself?
Or is it something deeper than that?
"What is man, that You are mindful of him?" to parrot a phrase.

Instead of "Planet of the Apes" they should have done "Planet of the Parrots." However, "get your stinking beak off me, you damn dirty parrot" just doesn't work as well.

He appears to fancy himself as a humourist
But he still craps on the NY Times.

LOLOLOL! Excellent, unspun. Thank you!

The search engine doesn't check for the root of a word. If you search for "parrot's" both pop up. It happens a lot.
To: freebilly
Like chicken, I suspect.

Man is the only animal that will die for the sake of its ego. Seriously, I'm not at all sure that Jane Goodall would agree.
