- “I got a laugh like a hyena but get the hump like a camel, so cover me in fig leaves as I’m the ultimate mammal.”

An interesting article on Yahoo’s front page… (LINK: http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20050825/wl_uk_afp/britainoffbeatzoo)

I think the initiative is excellent, but reading the article a certain bit caught my eye, “We have set up this exhibit to highlight the spread of man as a plague species “. It just makes me wonder at the other potential meanings it carries. We are a “plague”, labeled so by specialists and now we can even be put in a zoo (as if the world isn’t big enough of a zoo)!

Here’s an even more intriguing bit, “The…volunteers will be treated as animals and kept “amused” at the central London zoo with games and music”

Very,very interesting I’d say.
Lo and behold! More reasons to get in touch with the animal in you. YES! oh be a good fellow and drop by the London Zoo to see your “ancestors”.
