I just learned that Al Queda is made up primarily of gorillas. That is to say, that America, the most powerful country in the history of the world, has been brought to the brink of economic and moral destruction by a troupe of gorillas. This is amazing stuff. As far as I knew, gorillas were overlarge monkeys with underlarge brains who deal mainly in leaves and shoots. Don't get me wrong, gorillas do appear to be very stronge and quick. I am amazed that they can haul their big butts around in the bushes as quick as they do. But bring the most powerful nation on earth to its knees? I don't know, I'm a skeptic...
Um, I'm very embarrassed. I've just been informed that Al Queda is made up primarily of guerrillas, not gorillas. Very embarrassing. This is good though, because while researching gorillas, it was starting to become apparent that the American Colonies won independence from Britain using primarily gorilla soldiers and gorilla fighting techniques. It would have been sad to have been beholdened to a bunch of hooting beasts for the freedoms that we now enjoy.
