Yo.
I have a soft spot for apes. Probably in no small part because I am one. Like, I could watch the movie Dunston Checks In
So, we already know that non-human apes can act in movies. This in itself warrants awe and ponderous reflection. However, if you’re like me, you’ve assumed all your life that apes are intrinsically innocent creatures, who go around grinning, nibbling on bananas, and carrying baby versions of themselves on their backs.
But, even if you’re not like me, you may still be surprised at what the latest science has shown about chimpanzees’ capacity to plan out devious acts ahead of time…. I.e., they’re not just mischievous, they plan ahead and lie in wait to spring their mischief. So maybe Rise of the Planet of the Apes

“: it’s a song often sung by people caroling, and the lyrics imply that the carolers have a really intense hankering for some “figgy pudding.” I don’t know anyone who’s ever prepared or eaten figgy pudding, and I’m assuming kids today don’t even know what 
are. So I’m not surprised that a hilarious misconception of these lyrics is “Now bring us some friggin‘ pudding!” (a much more 20th-century adaptation).

was a huge hit in clubs. Since my classmates and I love to dance (hey, grad school can be fun!), I ended up singing along with this song, like, all the time…especially since one could interpret a “G6″ to be a

). And I’m probably biased, but it seems like many of the silliest messages from advertisers are specifically targeting women’s insecurities.
that has accumulated on Try Nerdy‘s URL, I can’t help but think that you, dear reader, have every right to hate me. Or at least to never read my blog again.
