Lively Case Discussion #589 3/13 - 3/16/2007

[Elaine]

Hi everyone!  I join a few weeks ago and haven't really posted yet.

I just finished a book today called --- Fame Junkies
It goes into why people are infatuated with fame and famouse people. Anyway in it was a description of a study that was done, in all places, at the Arnhem Zoo in the  Netherlands.  It goes along very well with the discussion that you are having about A-Wipe (sorry thats what I call him) and the way he gets angry when not being paid attention to.  I am also sorry that it was chimps that he was observing.  I am sure he ment no direspect to us Monkeys....



"Primatologist Frans de Waal observed chimps at the Arnhem Zoo in the Netherlands.  De Wall noted that one of the dominant chimps, Yeroen, like to stage veritable rock concerts during which he would demand the attention of all the other chimps by standing on a large yellow drum and jumping wildly until "the whole building boomed with the sound of his drumming."  If a dominant chimp like Yeroen didn't receive sufficient attention and respect, de Waal writes, he would sometimes go into a rage "with an unerring sense of drama he would let himself drop out of a tree like a rotten apple and roll around on the ground screaming and kicking"

Sound familiar?

Hi Marlee! Are we sure Joran did not have a "monkey suit" on?!

[robots]

Hey Robot!

I enjoy reading your posts and conversing with you.

I think you're cool  

[klaasend]

I always figured it was more likely that Joran wore a size 14 than a 10.5.  I suppose though, he could have abnormally small feet for his height.  

Wish FOM was around.  Wonder what size shoe Mickey John wears?

Marlee

The chimp's name was Yeroen???

Hi Klass!

It was kind of funny when I read that......I instantly thought of Joran.... and then today you guys are talking about exactly that.

Joran has big feet.  Just look at the picture of him on the lounge chair holding his laptop.

With that said I'm calling it a night.  Goodnight everyone.

[Marlee]

Yes Buckeye the chimps name is Yeroen.  Are you thinking that it rhymes with Joran?  I wondered.

[Buckeye]

What if they found a size 11 shoe and he produced a receipt changed to a size 14 (easy to change an 11)?? The "found" shoe would be too small for him.  Why would an investigator even bring up the topic unless there was evidence of something.  I don't think they just wanted his shoe size "incase" they found something.

Good point.  I still think his feet look larger than a 10.5 or 11 though.  He looks like and should wear a 14, IMO.

a bit of a coincidence....hmmmm..

True...but I'm on the evidence hunt agenda this week.

Patti -

When you see someone's post you want to quote, just click on the QUOTE button above their post.  Looks like this in the upper right hand corner of the post.  Then it brings up the box for you to type your message.  Just start your message after the quoted part:
