Gorillas, Nipples and the Dreams of Birds

How do you take all the fun out Internet stories about gorillas and nipples? Add a backdrop of frivolous lawsuits/employer abuse. Hard to tell who's on the side of justice from the scant info in this brief article, but I feel bad for Koko, and as a contributor to the Foundation, I'm concerned about where my money's going.
No mention of the suit here.

I think it was Batman who said, "to catch a criminal, you must think like a criminal", if so, than Negroponte should be great at catching terrorists. But he won't be. At some point between the time Hell's Bowels shat forth this career blackguard, and the glory days of Iran/Contra, he decided the best way to fight terrorism was with more terrorism- with a bit of torture,drug-trafficking and nun-killing thrown in for variety. Personally, I think it's the wrong approach, but the Bush administration disagrees with me. As usual, my calls to the White House went unreturned.
"But I've got a Blog!", I exclaimed, immediately before the line went dead.

This is pretty cool, but you don't wan't one within ten light-years of you. Really.

This makes perfect sense. So much so that you'd be tempted to wonder why this study was done in the first place. And how'd they prevent the subjects from sleeping? Threaten them with cats?
