capitalism = pr0n

this article is neatly summed up with this line:

A new study found that male monkeys will give up their juice rewards in order to ogle pictures of female monkey's bottoms. The way the experiment was set up, the act is akin to paying for the images, the researchers say.

of course capitalist running dog lackeys would say such a thing! in socialist utopia of russia, monkeys do not want pr0n! no! such things are products of twisted mindset of fat-cat bourgeoisie, of evils of communism.

in other science news you didn't hear fuck-all about on channel six because there was a kitten stuck up some fucking tree and they can't have you learnin' the devil's science,

The last probable common ancestor to humans and great apes had a body like an ape, fingers like a chimp and the upright posture of humans, according to researchers who unearthed a fossil of the animal in Spain.

A husband-and-wife team of fossil sleuths reopened an excavation site near Barcelona, discovering a 13 million-year-old animal that bridges the gap between earlier, primitive animals and later, modern creatures.

This newest ape species, Pierolapithecus catalaunicus, is so significant that it adds a new page to ancient human history.

Living great apes include humans, chimps, gorillas and orangutans. The group is thought to have split from the lesser apes, such as gibbons and siamangs, about 14 million to 16 million years ago.

The ape's body design suggests it was an adept and agile climber that kept its trunk upright. To do that, its chest had to be shaped just so. And the shoulder blades needed to hold to a certain position on the back.

"Our fossil shows this," he said.

What it does not show is the evolution of hands suited to the demands of such locomotion as swinging through tree branches. That fine-tuning of great ape hands, the team argues, came later.

and nope, you'll never hear a fucking word about this on the news in case the christiaNazis might be fucking offended that their 2000 year-old semen stain (T3H B1BL3!) isn't right just because people need to feel there's a giant in the sky watching them in order to keep them from fucking their sisters.

man, that was almost a ellisian spew - though not vaguely invented enough to compete, of course. (read an issue of bad world if you need a reminder of what he is capable of.)
