… give a chimp a gun:

Comments
kairosfocus is likely right. Those guys, drunk as they were (I'm guessing), would perhaps not have given the chimp a gun they knew was loaded. But how could they be sure there weren't live bullets accidentally mixed in with the blanks? So they scattered. Yes, keep posted re the film. I hope it avoids the heavy-handed moralizing of some predecessors.News

The ultimate irony of "Planet of the Apes" is that we are the apes.Mung

I was expecting Richard Strauss' "Sunrise." Chimp over man, the war begins. Maybe Planet of the Apes was prophetic? er....no.CannuckianYankee

Aha! And a Sci Fic fan. (I used to be a fan for Asimov. Now I monitor Baen to see what games are afoot. I think, e.g. the Honorverse is subtly deeply disturbing.)kairosfocus

KF: I'm pretty sure this is hype for "Rise of the Planet of the Apes". The research team is '20th Century Fox Research Library'. --- Possible off-topic Sidenote: as a Sci Fi fan... Totally hyped for said movie! - SonfaroSonfaro

Fatally -- as in Darwinian self- elimination -- stupid. If, it is real. I have my doubts. Probably, at minimum, blanks.kairosfocus
