Peter Gabriel is obsessed with discovering whether great apes can understand and communicate in our language and has tried creating music with them. Gabriel encouraged them to play the keyboards and was "blown away" by the results and he's even suggested the creation of an organisation to enable great apes around the world to communicate via the internet!

[goinz]

I wana have 3 apes!

[decadnids]

it would be better, if we could be bothered to learn the language of the great apes (seeing as humans are great apes). instead of making them learn how we communicate. bloody stupid humans.

what does the apes musick sound like?

[phil]

ask cristian vogel [only jokning like]

Listen to our music we are the greatest apes!

[decadnids]

not the greatest apes, just apes.
I don't see humans as being greatest...

[actionjetzon]

damn, i like apes...do i have to like myself now too? ;)

[phil]

we are similar to apes but apes are hairy all over and cant talk. whoever created us assuming it was some intelligent entities, must have thought they would make some creature that was similar but a bit more tweaked out and dumbed down.. prolly to fit in the food chain or some such. you will have to ask the people of Sirius.

[decadnids]

phil. tis my belief, that the human species is just part of the apes.
like gorillas, chimps, urangutans etc so they have a little more hair.
I am all for evolution, and see that humans and all the other apes had a common ancestor. we are apes as far as I am concerned.

not monkey's as that different (monkey's have tails, other differences).

I hate humanities pedestal of greatness, we are just thugs!

[phil]

Evolution doesnt sit well in my mind. we were greated in gods image, cause he's just like us and decided to have a laugh and begin an experiment on earth, well thats what i reckon. and i reckon noahs ark was a space ship..but i read that and it seemed about right. theres no way we came from a single cell, no way. Apes can be pretty thugged out, but they are sorted. i saw an albino gorilla when i was in San Diego, he was in a zoo but the zoo was huge and we was happy. i like monkeys cause they eat your car

here is a good site for ya then ;)

as for coming from a single cell... stranger things have happened ;)

monkey's are great.

so you a creationist? a friend of mine doesn't believe in evolution.
I like evolution, its all in the numbers!

What did the Hollywood producer say to the Apes in the zoo when they refused to sign contracts to appear in his new film?

Stop playing it cagey!

[decadnids]

how many ape jokes do you have phil?
I cant think of any... or are you finding them on-line...

[Basic 2: The Revenge]

Jesus goes into the Hilton hotel, walks up to the desk, throws three nails on the counter and says to the girl, "Hey do you think you can put me up for the night?"

[phil]

That is extremly offensive Basic. (i am serious.)

[decadnids]

Thought that was quite funny.... (sorry).

what do eskimo's and police man have in common..

both have blue helmets.

[Basic 2: The Revenge]

You don't want to hear the one about Jesus at the Job Centre then?

[phil]

Basic, i have just emailed Cristian DIRECTLY about this disgusting and un-tasteful post.

[Basic 2: The Revenge]

...and your point is?

[phil]

wacka wacka WACKA!!!!

[tsr_tomas]

apes, apes and monkey...

[penciLneck]

Does anybody remember that trashy tv series 'monkey'?
I stumbled across an interesting fact t'other day - 'monkey' was written in the early 1500's by a chinese poet and author 'Wu Cheng En' and is a great book, bit like the hobbit but better and about a stone monkey. http://www.monkeyheaven.com/books_literature.html

[Lady E]

everyone remembers the programme monkey.
ive got the wu cheng en book too.
phil - its nice you're back but stop trying to wind people up - in this instance cristian.its annoying me.

[penciLneck]

ok, just thought it was cool, excuse me.

[Lady E]

no excuses necessary.

[phil]

it was a joke didnt u see [joke]

[Lady E]

my two pence worth about ape books:

read 'great apes' by will self.

[Lady E]

phil - you were jokning which is something entirely different. whatever. its much better when you dont try to wind people who dont like you up. then they can just ignore you and you can carry on being on this board - simple

[phil]

right. thanks.

Monkey is a version of "Journey to the West", it is the epic story of how Buddhism was brought to China. I have seen many cartoons featuring these stories in HK. The iconography of that story is everywhere in HK/China. It is comparable in importance to The Three Kingdoms etc in Chinese literature - one of the seminal texts

[invisibleplanet]

...the irrepressible M O N K E Y!

my favourite programme as a kid :)
also read the tale as a child too

in chinese astrology, i have a Monkey ascendent

[penciLneck]

pant hoot! I loved 'great apes' too emma. Did you like his other novels - 'my idea of fun' etc?

[Lady E]

yes - 'my idea of fun' i found really disturbing, it gave me bad dreams all the time...especially as its set in brighton in part...just felt too close to home. i know someone who reminds me of the fat controller too.

'cock and bull' is good too.

i think he's marvellous.

[invisibleplanet]

please erutufon collective...please show me some book reviews about inspiration, love, and all the good things about life

i don't want to read about 'dark matter' at the moment

[decadnids]

read - the annointed by Zev Ben Shimon Halevi.
it is a good book, well worth a read.

[invisibleplanet]

ook :)

[Basic 2: The Revenge]

What does ook mean?

Oh, OK? As in "Ahh, I see"

or something else

[decadnids]

the librarian in terry pratchetts disc world novels used to go "ook"

Me too. I loved his first short story novel as well, 'quantity theory of insanity'. Very clever guy. Oh and his imitation of Bernard Bresslaw in shooting stars the other night was worth a chuckle. Compliments on your literary taste, dear moderator. :)

[dirtyho]

quantity theory of insanity - quality

i only read about 20 pages of my idea of fun . couldn't handle his flashy style - too much 'look how good i am at writing' posing for my taste.

[penciLneck]

oh shame - I just think he enjoys language, I never thought of it as posing...

[bitch one]

love him on shooting stars tho...(i'm a low culture guy at heart i guess)

[penciLneck]

nah, shooting stars is the highest culture. :)

[Lady E]

thank you penciLneck and i agree wholeheartedly about will. he;s not showing off, he just loves language. its pure genius that he's on shooting stars, although i would love them to do another proper series rather than just ss. my best bit is always the clips round...them doing ray mears was marvellous


invisible planet - if you want a joyous miraculous challenging read , which is 'dark' in as much as you cant have light without its opposite, read phillip pullman's 'dark materials' trilogy. if you havent already - maybe your son has? they are childrens books in the best sense, so brilliant. im jealous of anyone who hasnt read these for the sheer treat you have in store .

[penciLneck]

a pleasure emma, I like the sound of this dark materials trilogy, will check it out...
