dondoboy Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 "The chimp, who was known to walk around town, sometimes without a leash, also liked to surf on the Internet and was able to change the TV channel with a remote, according to a Stamford Advocate article. The paper also reported that Travis watered plants, was able to feed hay to his owner's horses, ate at a table with the rest of the family and sometimes drank wine from a stemmed glass." WTF! Its like a wild animal mixed with Dudley Moore! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Scott Gyrrr Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 The story of Lucy the chimp raised as a human for an 'experiment' in the 1960s is pretty shocking. Humans are so clever. It's on This American Life (parent trap episode) and Radiolab Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sweet Papa Crimbo Posted March 2, 2011 Author Share Posted March 2, 2011 The story of Lucy the chimp raised as a human for an 'experiment' in the 1960s is pretty shocking. Humans are so clever. It's on This American Life (parent trap episode) and Radiolab It was shocking and incredibly sad...but it had an ending. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
