Chimpanzees prefer cooked food. So do I. Draw your own conclusions.

Only female mosquitoes bite people, and female humans get bitten by mosquitoes more than men do because they are attracted to estrogen.

When drawing your own conclusions, always use a pencil.

Turtles can breath through their butts. Further comment was suspended due to the good taste police.

"Glamping"
GLAMPING is the new camping.
Luxury/glam-orous camping. I just heard about it from one of our local wineries offering this activity. Anyone want to go?
Equipped with all the comforts of home, each tent includes a queen-size bed, electricity, hot and cold running water, air conditioning, a large wood deck and individual barbecues. Guests can enjoy a beautiful view of the vineyard and Columbia River along with a peaceful place to sleep. In addition to wine tasting and vineyard tours, glampers can also participate in a range of activities including fishing, bike riding, horseback riding, kayaking, hiking and wildlife watching.
