Save the bonobos
Posted Dec 18, 2004
This is the headline item from the latest dispach from popbitch.com - the scurrilous e-mail newsletter that breaks all those stories that are considered too dangerous to print (Like Prince Charles' romps with his footman).
WARNING: I've had to asterisk out some 'ucks'
And I swear I didn't know this much about bonobos when I chose my username!
>> Save The Bonobo! <<
Randy f***-monkeys face doom
St Augustine claimed that humans were the only
animals who had sex for pleasure. But he didn't
know about the randy pygmy chimpanzees known
as Bonobos. Much like members of Blue, Bonobos
have sex to alleviate tension, solve arguments,
or simply celebrate a good meal. (The average
copulation lasts 13 seconds). It's not all
straight sex, either. There are gay and lesbian
bonobos (practicing "penis-fencing" and
"genito-genital frotting", respectively). Also,
much like Michael Jackson, the Bonobos enjoy
sex with their young.
Sadly, only 10,000 of the little f***ers are left
in the Congo, and they are now in danger of
extinction. Bonobos are, genetically, humankind's
closest relative: they share 98.5 percent of our
DNA. So in the spirit of kinship, we should help
our f***-monkey cousins. Email [email protected]
if you are willing to adopt a bonobo. (btw you
will have to have sex with it. They like to do
this every 90 minutes. On the plus side, it only
lasts for 13 seconds).

Front page.....again!

Well, well, well! A3213064 made it. My second in a fortnight, following hard on the heels of A3100168.
It almost makes up for still having a chest infection, 10 days into my cold (splutter, splutter). And conjunctivitis too, which makes me feel like I've been kicked in the eye.

Should've been a public holiday.

In my current viral haze (headache, aching limbs, D&V), I-n'-I completely forgot to mention that yesterday was the anniversary of the coronation of Ras Tafar-I, Haile-I Selassie-I, Mighty Lion of Judah.
Apparently his grandson lives in a council flat on the Isle of Dogs.
Bom-biddly-bong!

Those in the UK might have noticed a fine photo of a bonobo on the cover of this week's Grauniad Weekend magazine.
