Now I've Heard Everything

Apparently, there is a retirement home for chimpanzees who were actors.

The home was funded largely by the late Johnny Carson, who bequeathed the center (in his home state of Nebraska) $1 million in his will, in addition to donations given while he was still breathing.

The idea of a chimpanzee retirement home is funny enough--but one that is exclusively for those who were actors? Is there also one for chimpanzee Harvard alumni? (And a separate one for Yale, obviously) How about the Chimpanzee Daughters of the American Revolution?

What is so perilously wrong with humanity that we do such things?

For Some Reason

For some reason, I wanted to see what Joe Francis was up to these days. I wanted to see what matter of hilarious new scandals he is embroiled in these days.

I was in no way prepared for THIS.

Does somebody up there love me enough to provide such amusement, such fodder? Or does the credit belong to somebody operating far beneath me, perhaps even picturesquely engulfed in somehow-dark flames?

Regardless, thanks for the laughs!
