    Ah, those crazy English. At a Zoo in London, one animal exibit now features homo sapiens that are allowed to act like apes, but also get to go home at the end of a long, "hard" day.

    See them at the Human Zoo. :rolling:

    Well, they're about half-way toward their goal already. They've managed to prove that people can be just as stupid as animals. :rolleyes: Do these people really expect to be taken seriously?

    I should have known the English would do this, it appears the Scots really are the smarter part of the country...

    Yay, funny!

    Monkey see, monkey do, and such.
    C'mon, it's funny... Can't you see it? Funny! :p
    Seriously though, what's wrong with it? It's perfectly harmless after all.

    Apparently, zoo donations weren't paying the bills, so throw some T&A out there.

    I think it's not funny, merely stupid. Meh.

    Well, duh!?! C'mon - my ancestry is about 62.5% English, then a mix of Irish and Channel Islander, and *I* would say the Scots are the smartest on the isles! :D

    But I think this may tick off creationists...

    hmmmmm....

    EDIT: and the signage is faulty - homo sapiens sapiens's pre-civilisation "natual environment" wouldn't have been underwear/bathing suits. I know there's 'indecent exposure' laws to worry about, but STILL...

    I think people would pay more if they were all nude...as a primate would be in the wild. Just enclose the "enclosure" so kids won't get de-senitized at an early age. :rolling:

    That's a good idea for the terrorists

    But some idiot would probably say it was against their Human Rights :rolleyes:

    ...or Right-Wing jingoistic superpatriots? :rolleyes:


    Seriously, let's leave the politics to the other forum; I wanna know how I can get a job there - sitting around frollicking and grooming sounds MUCH nicer than customer service, even for FREE! :D

    I can almost feel the no-nonsense atmosphere forming despite the fact that it's a obvious joke. Not a very interesting one if you aren't there and then, but still...

    Heh...world news must travel slow...I finally heard the story last night on the "World in 80 seconds" segment of the nightly news.

    No wonder people go on the internet for the news more often that watching it on TV. :rolleyes: :rolling:

    The world news didn't cover it because they don't take it seriously. The only thing it teaches people is how stupid other people can be.
    P.S. Does anyone else have a problem with them saying it shows humans are really just like other animals when they are making the humans act unnaturally in an unnatural environment? Just a thought.

    Here's for the Monkey Island fans:

    oooh... there's... a...
    human in my pocket and he's stealing all my change.
    His stare is blank and glassy. I suspect that he's deranged!

    No wonder Captain LeChimp was Fossy's superior...

    A cave with fire I think. Or maybe a flat with television.
