So about the chimp attack in Conn. It's getting creepy..

Sorry, just had to pull this. As if humans, given proper circumstances aren't as savage as any ape or cat?

Sure, chimps can be savage, therefore we correct our thinking and say they're really wild animals, which they are. And they're just so nearly human.
Yeah. I was being kind of ironic. ;)

Tragic all round, though certainly. If you believed there was a reason (rather than just a cause) for everything, then this could be kind of confusing, I guess.
 
Is that a Lee-Enfield? Man it looks lovely.

Yes, it is. My favourite bolt action rifle of the olden days!

4 Tarantulas (Chilean Rosehair, Salmon Pink Birdeater, Indian Violet, Togo Ornamental)

I used to have a Chilean Rose when I kept turantulas. The difference there is, it's about as dangerous as a bee unless you're allergic to them. Great little thing though, very pretty!





What is becoming painfully clear to me now is that these "chips" are dangerous savages who must be eradicated lest they cause further loss of human life.
 
After reading the story in the op's original post it has me thinking it was an intimate possibly sexual relationship between chimp and owner. If my girlfriend/Wife fed me filet mignon and lobster tail and I washed it down with red wine, and she covered me in kisses and bought me gifts, and she would let me brush her hair and we bathed and slept together. Theres a good chance I'm gettin' a lil somthn somthn or some kind of special treat. :hyper::hyper:

We're talking about a full-grown male chimp. 'Aint no way he wasn't getting some human-lovin' on the side.
eew
 
Get a pet monkey and keep him in a tank and you won't even get the risk of a bite.

I dunno.. that seems kinda dangerous and all...

Chimps are pretty smart and dexterous.... he might figure out how to work the tank, and suddenly you have a crazed moneky driving a tank down main street with guns blazing... :D
 
Damn.... I'll have to get rid of my pedant collection... Can I borrow that Lee Enfield?

take yer pick :)
