All gorillas are Sigourney Weaver

As a silverback, I am always intrigued when you humans start to debate our nature, or put us in silly films (not that the one with Sigourney was silly - any film she's in is fine by me. We don't get much film out here in the wild, anyway). But, courtesy of Jason Grossman, alpaca farmer extraordinaire, here is one of the funniest argumenta ad Google I have ever seen. It proves that because we are all Sigourney Weaver, you humans ought to be vegetarians. I'm sure Jason, who moonlights as a philosopher in his spare time at the ANU, will be able to use this for his critical reasoning classes.

My friend Sascha whose flat I have the privilege of sharing and who is neither a human nor a gorilla (I'll give you a clue he has four legs, a tail and large, very hairy ears) has been reading the link and has the following question: "Does the fact that gorillas and humans have canines mean that they have to eat dogs?"

Ewww, no. It means humans and gorillas and Sigourney Weaver are dogs. We can't eat them, that would be cannibalism.

Gorillas are omnivores, but they primarily eat leafy plants and seeds. But I'm willing to bet that they will not knock back a protein package if offered in the form of a small animal or bug.

As a human, I would love to eat Sigourney Weaver!
