As a silverback, I am always intrigued when you humans start to debate our nature, or put us in silly films (not that the one with Sigourney was silly - any film she's in is fine by me. We don't get much film out here in the wild, anyway). But, courtesy of Jason Grossman, alpaca farmer extraordinaire, here is one of the funniest argumenta ad Google I have ever seen. It proves that because we are all Sigourney Weaver, you humans ought to be vegetarians. I'm sure Jason, who moonlights as a philosopher in his spare time at the ANU, will be able to use this for his critical reasoning classes.

"It is funny, but not that funny."
Eric's comment does not stop my uncontrollable giggling. My step-mother comes over to see why I'm hysterical. She agrees with Eric - it is funny, but not funny enough to explain why tears of laughter are literally coming out of my eyes.

Or, "philosophy advances one funeral at a time"? Oddly, no-one has ever said that (<checks Google> - no, I'm right: no-one ever has) because of course it doesn't fit. Philosophy isn't like science, with clear progress that rather leaves the Emeritus behind it3. DP says otherwise in his…

I've been a fan of Jason Kuznicki's blog for quite some time now, as should be obvious. But I had never read the essay Without Pain or Fear or Guilt, an essay he wrote about his coming out of the closet, until today, when Lynn pointed it out to me and suggested I read it. My reaction upon reading…
Darn. You made me look! And read all the way to the end in search of the punchline!
By me too and I'm not even a gorilla!
By the way are gorillas vegetarians or not?
My friend Sascha whose flat I have the privilege of sharing and who is neither a human nor a gorilla (I'll give you a clue he has four legs, a tail and large, very hairy ears) has been reading the link and has the following question: "Does the fact that gorillas and humans have canines mean that they have to eat dogs?"
Ewww, no. It means humans and gorillas and Sigourney Weaver are dogs. We can't eat them, that would be cannibalism.
Gorillas are omnivores, but they primarily eat leafy plants and seeds. But I'm willing to bet that they will not knock back a protein package if offered in the form of a small animal or bug.
As a human, I would love to eat Sigourney Weaver!
Now that is cannibalism that I can endorse!
She's a man, man.
