I gotta pass this on ...

For those who don't read May Contain Nuts (and why, pray, don't you?), you'll have missed this one. Seems some Chinese zoo keepers were worried about one of their chimps being lonely, so they gave him a television. He became addicted to certain programs and sat in front of the TV all day, even skipping meals to catch his favorite shows. They didn't want to take away the set, because they worried the chimp would get moody (they do not, apparently, believe in tough chimp love).

They recently found out a way to let the chimp exercise more by bringing a rabbit into its playground. It seems to be working well as the chimp keeps chasing the rabbit around.

Zoo turns lonely chimp into couch potato

'k, so who's gonna pay for therapy for the rabbit?

Of course, the ratings services and advertisers are totally going to want to know which shows the chimp is hooked on. I'll bet it's Mythbusters, for sure.

2 comments make for a lot of heat

Enjoyed the 'monkey exercise by rabbit chase'. Kinda like Grandma babysitting 2 year old grandbaby. My grandbaby lives thousands of miles away, so me and the computer get cozy instead. I do need more exercise, but I'm addicted to either old movies or the computer. Somebody help me.....................JT...lol
