Awwwww... I was hoping to see a few outraged replies before someone posted that.

/sounds like it might be an interesting documentary to catch when it's out on home video.

Paradise Lost 3: Purgatory will win the Oscar. Book it.

That really would have been a great title for a movie.

I heard her on the radio a few weeks ago, might have been a re-run of "Wait, Wait," talking about that cartoon, and how she got a kick, but that somebody on her research staff got all protective and upset and complian-y about it.

IF only this was the INTERTRON and we were able to cross-reference and, I don't know, perhaps hyperlink information together in a quick and painless manner. (new window) why, Vannevar Bush would be ever so pleased!

She wrote the forward to one of the big Far Side Collections years ago where she talked about how she loved that cartoon and "guffawed" over it.

She then rambled on about how "guffaw" was a very larson-esque word.

Larson tells the anecdote in The Pre-History Of the Far Side too. The head of the Jane Goodall Society got all pissy about it and wouldn't let the cartoon be published in an article about Goodall or something, so he got in touch with the publishers and told them about it, and they said "that doesn't sound like the Jane Goodall we know." They called Goodall and found out she loved the cartoon.

I haven't heard of this film. I will search it out. I wonder what makes it Oscar worthy?

I feel bad, I am usually up on anything to do with her.

\One of my prized possessions is an autographed copy of one of her books.

While her work with the great apes is important, she's also a "don't use animals in scientific experiments" nutter.

Not only that, but I read an anti-hunting article she wrote one time, and it conflates illegal poaching with legal, monitored sport hunting. It had a kind of "some assholes are murdering my chimps for bushmeat, so all hunting is bad" quality to it.

If people are hunting chimps for food, I have no problem with this. Do you know that there are cases of chimps stealing human babies for food? Tit for farking tat, I say.

I remember seeing articles about her in the Nat'l Geo when I was a kid. I wanted to be her when I grew up. The closest I got was doing observations in a zoo for the keepers. I only did a couple of hours at a time and was a short walk from facilities or a bench to sit on. I can't even imagine sitting stock still in the jungle on a hot day all day long.

That's only chimpanzee testing. She's against all animal testing, the same as the head of PETA (who, of course, uses drugs tested on animals, because she's special).
