Our generation only got like 4 channels on the TV when we were growing up, so we have all these shared memories of crap like that Samsonite commercial.

You've tried sprays and powders, but still you've got Ring Around The Collar!

Late last night my son and I were watching Planet Earth. There was this one shot of chimps in the congo walking upright.

At that moment I knew that weird simile was is right on.



I went looking for apes that walk upright and found Oliver. I guess Oliver had 47 chromosones which made him more than a chimp.

Only I know why this makes sense. :p

Regardless it's a very interesting read.
