#1 But Hiasl's best friend is a chimp named Rosi. They'd have to get her declared a person before she could take on his guardianship and appeal the decision. A quandary.

#3 I made a Freudian slip in the site name in the link above. It is actually called the "Great Ape Project".

#4 Speaking of apes trying to be human:

Big gorilla at the L.A. Zoo
Snatched the glasses right off my face
Took the keys to my BMW
Left me here to take his place

I wish the ape a lot of success
I'm sorry my apartment's a mess
Most of all, I'm sorry if I made you blue
I'm betting the gorilla will too

They say Jesus will find you wherever you go
But when He'll come looking for you, they don't know
In the meantime keep your profile low
Gorilla, you're a desperado

--Warren Zevon, "Gorilla, You're a Desperado"

#5 $6,800 a month for maintenance? There are ex-wives who don't get that. Like, most of them. With kids. I don't know about Vienna, but six large a month lets you live pretty well in most places.

I'd say the West has some twisted set of priorities, but then, I already knew that.

#7 Too bad Austrians didn't even show this much concern for the Jews back in 1938.
