It's hard out here for a chimp

Make sure you put your shoes on before reading this, because it's time to dance in the streets. Washoe, the first chimpanzee to learn sign language, is dead. The chimp, once it was learned she could speak American Sign Language in 1980, was quarantined for "studying" at Central Washington University's Ellensburg campus.

Now this vile creature, no doubt intended to spy on us for the enemy, can never teach another chimp how to understand us again. Meanwhile, our codebreakers are still working on the chimp words for "throw poop."

By the way, thanks for sticking with us, though Blogger is having some issues lately.
