9. ewwwww

There was a serial murderer one Gerald Schaffer I think who did this and Albert Fish. :puke:

[boilerbabe]

12. I have heard of Coprophilia...

but not coprophagia. How cool. I used to have an iguana, but it never did that. When Lizzzard Taylor was pissed at me, he/she'd snap me with her tail. That was one mean lizzzard!

XXXOOO

3. you are such a weirdo...

short bus. *rolls eyes*

That gorilla is eating it's own poo...eww. Did he actually eat it or spit it out or what?

[boilerbabe]

10. They usually throw it a tourists in the zoo! N/T

[XanaDUer]

4. Ok. I'll bite (hee hee)

why do you think he is eating his own poop?

[short bus president]

15. I watched him/her produce it,

then scoop it up, and shove it into its mouth. It then rolled the poop up into a little ball in its mouth, and spit it back out into its hand, then began snacking on it. I took the picture. I know what that dirty, dirty gorilla was doing. ;-)

22. I saw a gorilla at the Bronx Zoo doing something similar with vomit

It was vomiting a neat (albeit thoroughly disgusting) pile of puke into its hand, snacking on it, then, with a mighty shake of its head, vomiting it up again. And it did this over and over and over much to the horror and delight of everyone watching. This must be a gorilla hobby. What other purpose does it serve than entertainment?

5. *sign*

not ALL of us do this....

sometimes all we want is a warm snack... is that so wrong?
:shrug:

[SmileyBoy]

7. Why did you post something that made me laugh so much???

ROTFLMFAO

[TrogL]

8. Why aren't you in the Grotto?

[short bus president]

17. I'm playing with gorilla poop pictures

no time for the niceties of the Grotto! But DO watch out for Velma when she gets that shit-eatin' grin on her face... ;-)

[VelmaD]

18. Oh ha...

freakin' ha. You're so funny. *rolls eyes*

BENT OAFER! :spank:

[short bus president]

19. Not when you're

wearing that suspiciously coprophagic grin on yer face, dear. ;-)

NO SCAT!

[VelmaD]

20. NO SCAT!

That grin may be evil, it may be malicious, and it may be lascivious...but it is NOT EVER coprophagic. Eew. Just eew.

[short bus president]

21. Oh, just

clown up and take it like a gorilla. :P

[boilerbabe]

11. Ask you anything??? Wheeee...

Ok, if that gorilla was representative of most of the primate population, should we legislate against shit-eating in a public venue?

I know I can't smoke in a restaurant or bar anymore, so should that gorilla be able to indulge in his vice in public???

Another question: how many molecules are found in the average bullfrog?

XXXOOO

p.s. great pic, you should see what the chimpanzees do when they see women (eeeeeeekkkkk)

[short bus president]

16. chimps and women?

no shrub jokes for me. But dolo amber made friends with one of the chimps at the zoo, as did I. Her friend responded to various faces she made, and hand gestures. Was pretty cool. Mine just followed me around the glass, and put his/her hand up to it when I did, which evoked a startlingly girlish "awwwwwwwwwwwwwww!" from me.

[VOX]

13. Think of it as the *ultimate* commitment to recycling!

:toast:

[WoodrowFan]

14. do you wnat fries with that?/
