SURPRISE TAPIR BIRTHDAY SWIM PARTY!

Margaret Mead meets Margaret Fuller.

That's nothing. We have a 180lb one running the country.

In before the obvious "Isn't that redundant?/Most feminists 200lb orangutans anyway" joke.

Yea, OK, I'd hit it too.

He was also seen filling out an application for the librarian position at Unseen University.

Bit skinny for a feminist.

Please tell me more about this exciting plan to make the Daily Mail look credible.

Gunny Highway: He was also seen filling out an application for the librarian position at Unseen University.

Ook.

And if you question his literary taste, he will unscrew your head from your body.

/don't call him a 'monkey' either.
//oook

Once he has evolved a bit more, he'll switch to George Sands.

Reading books to Orangutans might just be in the top 10 best dayjobs ever.

Admittedly, I haven't read P&P, but isn't it about a group of sisters trying to get married? How is that feminist?

I'm pretty sure he regularly posts on here. Would explain a lot. A LOT.

The Angry Hand of God: That's nothing. We have a 180lb one running the country.

...really? You have to do this shiat in every thread?

It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single orangutan in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a book.

Highroller48: Reading books to Orangutans might just be in the top 10 best dayjobs ever.

Not if you need to read them Pride and Prejudice for the umpteenth time.

So, Jane Austin puts apes to sleep. That might explain my 8am Brit novel class.

FTFA: The bedtime stories came about because the pair had been sending Krause potty

Is that code for hurling their feces?

Arachnophobe: And if you question his literary taste, he will unscrew your head from your body.

But he is a monkey

/"apes are monkeys" trifecta in play

cgraves67: Admittedly, I haven't read P&P, but isn't it about a group of sisters trying to get married? How is that feminist?

It's full of outdated concepts, histrionic outbursts, and makes men slowly shake their heads in disbelief. How is that *not* feminist?

No, this is P&P&O not P&P&Z.

Note to self: probably a bad idea to read P&P&Z to O.

Awwww...too cute!

Stupid monkey.

What would they do if he read Fifty Shades of Grey to them?

I wonder what would happen if they have a TV with the O'Reilly Factor tuned in?

They would add 2 to their target demographic

Can't blame em, that book put me to sleep too.

Oh come on! These are intelligent animals we're talking about here don't insult them.

Yes, really, who's going to tell him not to read it?

A gorilla?

It's in Poland.

The orangutan probably just thinks someone chattering away to him in Polish is amusing.

I suspect this ape was once a human wizard.

wait wait... orangutans can read?

does he use sign language or something?

do they have any idea what is actually going on in those books?

ugh.

StudlyDoRight: What would they do if he read Fifty Shades of Grey to them?

Oh,I don't think you really wanna know the answer to that question.

You think that's bad, you should see how the chimpanzees react to Kate Chopin.

Ha, got that right, thanks for not leaving me hanging!

Knowing the Black guy beat your billion-dollar Golden Child by 2 million votes.

Can't believe you admit watching Gremlins II.
Had successfully edited it from memory until just now....dammit.

cgraves67: Admittedly, I haven't read P&P, but isn't it about a group of sisters trying to get married? How is that feminist?

No, it's about a group of sisters being pushed into arranged marriages, with Elizabeth choosing to defy her parents and tradition, believing she was more than "just a wife" and either go unmarried or marry for love. Highly progressive for its time.

Did someone say "200-pound orangutan"?



Presented, in glorious colour, the official Top Gear Orangutan.

Christopher Lee has a cameo. Daniel Clamp sends a Gremlin down the shredder while his deputy gets molested by a hermaphroditic (??) Gremlin in the men's room. The crazy Asian photographer. Dracula doing the news (with Brain Guy). Gizmo doing his best Rambo III. Gargoyle Gremlin. The Canadian restaurant. The guys making fun of the Mogwai "rules" in the control room right before they get eaten. George-and-Lenny Gremlins. That weird vignette in the middle where the Gremlins "fark up" the movie (complete with a Leonard Maltin sighting).

What's NOT to like?

Son of Thunder: It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single orangutan in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a book.

I lol'd

How is this not an Onion story?
