Pop Rocks: You Can Ape The Ape - 10 Famous Chimps | Art Attack | Houston | Houston Press | The Leading Independent News Source in Houston, Texas
George W. Bush
"Is 'Bush or Chimp' still around?" I asked myself. It is? Jesus Jones, that's a joke that never gets old. Oh wait, it actually got old before the 2002 midterms. My bad.
Lancelot Link
I wish I remembered the '70s better, then I might be able to understand how such wondrous programs like Lancelot Link, Secret Chimp made it on the air. I suspect heroic amounts of cocaine.
But consider this: what are the odds an ape-starring show with a character named "Darwin" could air today?
J. Fred Muggs
Yes, Matt Lauer's job is so hard a chimpanzee did it for four years. You can bet your ass Muggs never would've taken any shit from Tom Cruise, either.
Günter
I know Professor Farnsworth's prize experiment is not a chimpanzee, I just can't skip any chance to hear Dean Vernon bellowing "ROBOT HOUSE!"
