#2 They'll have to go some to catch up, we'll be hitting The Singularity in less than 100 years (barring some stupidness) and then all bets are off...

#3 Bertolani saw an adolescent female chimp use a spear to stab a bush baby as it slept in a tree hollow, pull it out and eat it.

We should teach them that Clinton babies are far tastier.

#6 Chimps are known to use tools to crack open nuts and fish for termites. Some birds use tools, as do other animals such as gorillas, orangutans and even naked mole rats.

yep they make little sewing machines.

#9 These chimps have obviously had contact with hugo chavez alias BOBO. To take such dramatic leaps one needs an example, the kind BOBO of the venezuelan rain forest has made from general to all everything within the venezuelan economy. Me thinks that these chimps must have been in the same training class with bobo.

#10 Years ago, there was a New Yorker cartoon showing two jungle explorers watching a formation of gorillas, with clubs at right shoulder arms, marching in formation, as another gorilla shouted at them.

The caption was, "Well, do you still think I'm an alarmist?"

#11 Spears don't kill chimps, only chimps kill chimps.

#12 If chimps convert to Islam, we'll really be in trouble.

#14 Then again , chimps have a higher IQ

#15 chimps have higher hygiene requirements that don't square with Madrassah provisions. I doubt the Islamists can convince the chimps to lower their stds
