Chimps on Ice

>> 13 December 2009

Have you ever said to yourself - perhaps in a moment of low self-esteem - "At least I can ice-skate better than a monkey?" Frankly, you probably haven't. But if you have, then this video should wreck your confidence:





Not only can these chimps ice-skate, they can ice-skate way better than I can (and probably better than anyone who happens to be reading this e-blog). AMAZING!


Questions for Discussion:
  1. Do you think that you could ice-skate better than these monkeys?
  2. Is there any competition in which you could be absolutely confident in your ability to best a monkey rival?
  3. Should primates be permitted to compete in the Olympics? Doesn't barring them from competition amount to nothing more than speciesism?
  4. How do you feel about the new ICE-SKATING ANIMALS direction that this e-blog is taking?

I'd given up my Animal Planet channel on cable. Thanks for keeping me up to date on all the things I might be missing!

Answer to #4: Me & my posse fully endorse & support the ice-skating theme - the posse has its fingers crossed for your good fortune in finding more adorable videos - go Joel!
