Wedding Betting

From the guy behind Overheard in New York, WB's a delightfully despicable site that lets you predict the nuptial success of unsuspecting lovebirds based entirely on submitted couple photos (a Hot or Not for judging eternal bliss). Predicting's highly scientific: simply peep the pic and read a brief description ("together since 17", "Russ is a management consultant"), then select whether they'll last "barely past the altar", 1-15 years, or "live happily ever after" -- which they'd better, if they're going to selfishly commandeer Labor Day weekend. After you weigh in, WB displays crowd-sourced probabilities (number of voters, average no. of years 'til predicted split), then displays a photo of another couple, compelling you to judge again, and again, and again, until you turn off your computer and buy a cat.

Any LA-istas know anything about this?

A 42-year-old chimpanzee who is toilet-trained and can eat with a knife and fork is believed to be at large in a Southern California forest after escaping his cage.

The chimp called Moe disappeared Friday from Jungle Exotics, which trains animals for the entertainment industry. The chimp wandered into a house next door, surprising construction workers who saw him head for a nearby mountain.

Aieeee! Missing nose alert!

Also, and more importantly--idiot alert. He was best man at your wedding? Really? Power to you for not hating chimps after they EAT YOUR TESTICLES but at least it should keep their animal nature upper in your mind.

I think the chimp was best man pre-testicle chomp.

And, hey, whole other chimps.

My point is that you can't be mistaking the species for human after some of them eat your nuts. I'd be worried now because that chimp will probably be killed rather than re-taken, with his best bet being found totally isolated from anyone.

I just hate when people anthropomorphise exotic animals. It's so arrogant and dismissive.

Why? Humans do that kinda crap! For the joy of it!

Did the chimp bite of his nose? I read the article really fast!

Hey, I'm not saying it's not fun to do. I'm just saying you stay wary of the groups that do it (and I don't think he got them back-he certainly didn't get his nose back).

It was a different chimp who bit off his nose. And balls. And foot. And some other chunks from various places.

Different chimp. Nose, foot, nuts, and chunks of leg and ass.
