Chimps mourn the death of their young?

Scientists have discovered that chimpanzees mourn their dead infants just like humans.

But now scientists have filmed how one chimpanzee mother, whose 16-month-old infant died, apparently begins the grieving process.
It’s the latest evidence highlighting just how similar chimps and other great apes are to humans.

The ape continued to carry the body for more than 24 hours before tenderly laying on the ground. Then from a short distance she watched over her child.
Periodically she returns to the body and touches the face and neck with her fingers to establish it was dead. After carrying the infant's dead body for more than a day, the mother laid the body out on the ground in a clearing and repeatedly approached the body and held her fingers against the infant's face and neck for multiple seconds.

Chimps are human’s closest relatives in the wild. Like people, they can use tools, using sticks to fish out termites, hunt in teams and plan ahead. They are also one of the few animals that can recognise themselves in a mirror - and realise that they are looking at a reflection.

This is an amazing video. Whether or not it shows chimps mourning the death of their young, or simply just being morbidly curious, is really up in the air; however, it certainly looks like a mother grieving. I'm completely fascinated by evolutionary biology, mammals, and sexual evolution, so this is right up my alley.

Yummy

Princess, yes real Princess Olivia Wilde, is gorgeous. She's probably gonna be the new "it" girl. In fact, when she left House MD as the magnificent "13", so did I. Her face is so ridiculously perfect, it's kind of funny looking. It's like a big square that in some pictures, makes her look like a huge angular head on a tiny body. Agreed though, that's really splitting hairs. She has these piercing cat-like eyes that are so intense, especially in the bedroom, it's almost as if they'll steal your soul(cue music) Bow Chicka Wow Wow. These pictures should only be looked at if you have a lot of experience looking at and admiring beautiful women, because, I'm telling you, these can really escalate a situation quickly...thanks, Mr. Burgundy.

White cotton, check. Blood, check. Noooo, surely that's not the metaphor she was going for...

Lady GaGa is exactly what she strives to be, an enigma. I mean, I guess she's talented, but her over-the-top antics seem too contrived. After a while, they become originality's antagonist and it gets annoying. At first, especially before Alexander McQueen decided to check himself out, her costumes built her mystique. Then he hung himself, she tried to continue, unsuccessfully might I add, and it simply hasn't been the same(see meat dress). I find her music hit or miss. She can sing without a doubt. When I'm with my gay friends in the club it's awesome, but then again, so is Cher, since that's the only two artists ever played. I don't know, I just think she's kind of fading into sad reality of every pop star's worst nightmare, apathy and anonymity. Speaking of apathy, I don't really care either way what happens to her career, but I can't imagine paying the exorbiant prices she asks for her concert tickets while she goes on stage dressed as a menstrual cycle.

Hershey’s makes millions of Kisses each day. I’m just asking for one.

Christina Hendricks will light a red carpet on fire. When I say light on fire, I mean people will self immulate just so they don't look directly into the eyes of the beast. Someone once told me this girl was like, "1950's voluptuous pretty." So, based on that sentence, I deduce that in the 50's men liked women that looked like hideous sea donkey hybrids of sterility and eminent death, or just red heads that can cripple all-you-can-eat buffets. Either way, I'm so glad me and my penis didn't grow up in the 50's cause we would've been so pissed. In the words of Jackie Martling, this chick is a two bagger. One bag on her head and one on mine in case hers falls off. If this can be a sex symbol in Hollywood, that town is even more pathetic than I thought.

Feel dirty, need bath, don't care.

I think Vanessa Hudgens is like 16, but hopefully for me, and my criminal record, she's 20, cause she's absolutely on fire. She was wisely picked to be the spokeperson for Candies shoes and without equivocation, I can say the person responsible for that move is the smartest person in the world. She's hotter than 7 hells. The fact that zac Efron, the poster boy for sexual ambiguity and effeminacy, has landed this rocket ship, makes me want to fly to Los Angeles and put him to sleep. The only thing that little shit has contributed to society is somehow talking her into sending naked camera phone pics and then uploading them to the internet. Geez...I love the information age! Lucky me!

Katie Couric is so irrevlevant.

Katie Couric came under fire this month for suggesting a Muslim version of 'The Cosby Show' would go a long way in fixing America's ignorance about the Islamic faith.

"Maybe we need a Muslim version of 'The Cosby Show' ... I know that sounds crazy," Couric said on a web version of her show, while discussing the major stories from 2010. "But 'The Cosby Show' did so much to change attitudes about African-Americans in this country, and I think sometimes people are afraid of things they don't understand."

Critics were quick to call Couric's well-intentioned remarks simplistic and "bird-brained."

But Muslim and Arab writers, directors and actors say they see Couric's remarks as a stepping stone to tolerance and say the CBS news anchor gave them a platform they wouldn't have otherwise had to express their desire for more positive Muslim portrayals on scripted television.

Guys, listen, this is America. It's the most tolerant, accepting and rewarding nation in the history of mankind. In the 1970's, when interracial relationships weren't exactly mainstream, we had the Jeffersons. In the 80's, The Cosby's brought us into their living room. Regardless, neither of those shows made us understand African-American culture anymore than Roots explains the incomprehensive atrocities of slavery or Saving Private Ryan reveals the perils of war. That's ignorant beyond comprehension. We don't give a shit if you have a television show. You know what we care about? We care when zealots, in the name of your peaceful god, fly planes into buildings killing thousands of innocent civilians while you cheer in the streets. We also care when you walk into airports and explode yourself, killing 40 innocent travelers. It's also not very endearing when you behead innocent journalists because, as you claim, they're infidels, and then post it to your TV network. We don't have a problem with Islam. We have problems with members of the Islamic faith that don't publicly denounce the actions of insane homicidal/suicidal zealots. Katie Couric, shut the hell up. No one wants to hear your stupid liberalism, nor do we wanna see your colon on national television. Actually, based on your ratings, no one wants to see you at all.

Wait...what tha.

I think it was just this week I was writing about how hot Rihanna is and how she tortures me with her sexiness. Because of that, I refuse to believe that this is her. In fact, right now, I'll bet 100 bucks this isn't Rihanna, but Cousin IT from the Adams' Family. What is it about famous people that they can't continue looking normal and beautiful. Celebrities are worthless.
