An aptly named winner of the 2008 Wildlife Photographer of the Year contest, "Deadlock" was captured in the dead of night in a Belizean rain forest.
It looked to me like they were making out.
Love isn't brains, children, it's blood, blood screaming inside you to work its will.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Tommy, this photo is way creepy. Can you have a monkey uncanny valley?
Huh. That one didn't bug me. The one with the monkey being roasted was all monkey-uncanny valley for me: [link]
Oh, and the chimp who wouldn't share is wild pig is named Frodo: [link]
The central and dominant figure, unwilling to share his half of a wild pig, is a 31-year-old male known as Frodo, lead hunter of his group.
"Frodo is a warrior," Ruoso said. "He catches the prey 80 percent of the time."

Frodo was named by Jane Goodall, he's part of the core group she's been following for decades.

Yeah, I'd heard of Frodo the chimp before he was all, "I'm not going to share my wild pig."

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".
Oh that sounds ages better than my college Victorian literature class where we mostly read terrible and terribly dry political political and religious treatises.
I wanna read Shir's Victorian Lit paper!
Umm, this isn't literature course. This is Material Culture and English Soc. In The 19th Cent. class. Such a beam of light, I tell you.
Also, in "I have some great lecturers!" news: my prof. for Europe In The Early Modern Era explaining to some more challenged fellow students why he teaches women and slaves' history along with the Formal White Dead Men history: "Every king had a mother, and for that fact only it's important to know how they lived then".

I thought the Tudors reproduced asexually.
