Chimpanzee Learns To Fish
NBC4.TV News: “Charlie” learned to fish to kick off the Wildlife Festival 2005 in Lewiston, N.Y., last weekend. Charlie is the honorary “chair chimp” of this year’s event. He ended up catching two fish in the Niagara River just north of Niagara Falls.
In other news, Zookeepers Try To Get Chimp To Quit Smoking. The most interesting part of the story is how the habit turns this 26 year old female chimp into a male.

ARE YOU POPULAR? (1947)
“One of the best examples of post-World War II social guidance films, with examples of “good” and “bad” girls, proper and improper dating etiquette, courtesy to parents, and an analysis of what makes some people popular and others not. A scream and a sobering document of postwar conformity.”
I couldn’t stop laughing! This is SOOOO WRONG in so many ways. Every single bit of advice is hilarious! “Maybe they could bring another couple home with them! Wouldn’t that be fun!” HAHAHA! Oh do yourself a favour and watch this. You’ll never forget it.

Computer wizardry shows the future for junk food kids
Joanna Buc aged eight – and how she might look at 40
Warnings about children’s unhealthy lifestyles are common, but experts are now showing how junk food fans could look in middle age:
Computer wizardry allowed one family to see how their children will look at 40, if they do not change their habits. Child health experts are overseeing the experiment for the BBC3 show Honey We’re Killing the Kids!
Finally, XBox 360
The new XBox is going to be much more than a tool to play Halo 9. It’s going to (finally) integrate all of your media resources (including phone). The little silver box won’t just blur the line between PC and TV, but essentially turn the line into a big circle, with everything inside…
“Xbox 360 has Extender capability built in, giving users an effortless link between all the combined features – games, videoconferences, phone calls, a music library, photos, and all the high-definition video programming stored on Media Center’s DVR.”
And, for those of you who might still just like to use your Xbox to play video games…
“Xbox 360 will introduce gamers to a world where they can create and maintain a persistent, evolving online persona regardless of which game they’re playing. A user profile, maintained at a Microsoft data center, will follow you around and track your progress from game to game. That way, if you’re a Halo 3 ace, you won’t get thrown into a multiplayer Splinter Cell session with a bunch of newbies.”
Help Save Japan’s Dolphins!
More than 20,000 dolphins and porpoises are being slaughtered each year and their meat, containing toxic levels of mercury, is being sold as food in Japan, often times labeled as whale meat.
