We're losing our place at the top of the evolutionary ladder... if anyone is surprised by that:

Somehow, I'm not too worried... call it a "hunch" if you will, but I don't think we'll be seeing any "Planet-of-the-Apes"-style takeovers anytime soon.
After all, *yoda voice* mental addition does not a civilization make... :wink:

And, hey, we're still the only ones with firearms...as long as we have those, I'd say we're pretty safe.

Now, now Rochey, what have the poor monkeys ever done to you to deserve such an insulting comparison?

Indeed as I have never heard of a monkey being arrested for drug possession, drunk driving, AWOL in time of war and guilty of crimes against the state. Its a poor comparison and I thought better of you.

I always fail to see how Bush got elected, when every American I've ever known on any forum hates him.

I wonder if Bush could stand again on the grounds that he's only actually been elected once so far? :)

You're right guys, I owe an apology to our fine simian friends.

I always fail to see how he can remember to walk and breathe at the same time.

The Statue of Liberty isn't buried? What the hell is that mess of metal, dirt and savage population around it then?

Well, I don't hate him... *Covers head, waiting for tons of rotten fruit*

I don't think he's all that great a president, but he's definitely not the buffoon/Devil Incarnate that most people make him out to be... I mean, he certainly can't be both. Either he's an evil mastermind, or he's an idiot who can't remember his own name...the two options are pretty much mutually exclusive.
