Tomorrow, the BBC will broadcast the first film ever to be shot entirely by chimpanzees….and before you ask, no, I don’t mean that pejoratively.

Made as part of a scientific study into how chimpanzees perceive the world and each other, the movie was the brainchild of primatologist Betsy Herrelko and was made using ‘Chimpcams’ -  cameras housed in special ‘chimp-proof’ boxes.

A source at Channel Four informs me that following the success of the experiment, 100 of the chimps have been signed up by Endemol to devise new celebrity reality TV shows.

According to this BBC tech piece, in a poll of 1000 brits, conducted by Lewis PR, 5% of respondents thought that Bill Gates was ‘a comedian or a famous thief.’

The other 95% were wrong!

Dear Sir or Madam,

Good start…I can see you’ve spent lots of time reading my blog….

I help coordinate the Shxxzilxx UK Publisher Program and came across your website http://mcrebbe.com.

Obviously…or you wouldn’t be writing…

I found it an extremely promising partner for our affiliate program and so would like to offer you the chance to work with us.

Really? How generous of you! That’s just what I wanted for Chanukah. How did you know?

We are currently offering all sign ups a £20 bonus, plus £5 extra when you implement our dynamic banners and point us to the page it’s / they’re on.

Wow, it’s like all of my Chanukahs have come at once…actually, I really do mean that….my family aren’t that generous…

Try monetising your site with our various text links, banners, search boxes etc and watch the pennies roll in!

I would, but how will I be able to see the pennies rolling in with all of your various text links, banners, search boxes etc., obscuring my vision?

Gain  some extra pounds (and not just from all the good food!) over Christmas.

Are you calling me fat?

Christmas?? Damn, you’ve really done your research…

We also have a Publisher video on the blog which sums up the program in a couple of minutes without the need to make your way through huge quantities of text!

I believe that’s what I’ve just done…

Don’t forget you could earn £25 straightaway!

How could I forget, that’s the second time you’ve mentioned it.

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact me on this address.

Really…ANY questions…

Kind regards,

Emma Cxxxxxxxxx

Apparently we differ in our interpretation of the term ‘specialist’.

According to this piece in the Huffington Post, a recent study by consumer electronics shopping site, Retrevo.com, has found that 36 percent of people under 35 admit to checking Facebook, Tweeting or texting, straight after sex.

I guess that smoking isn’t as popular as it used to be.

The same study found that over a quarter of under 35 year olds check Facebook more than 10 times a day…which means they are having sex almost as frequently as me.

This Friday, Saturday & Sunday, tens of thousands of  people will converge upon London’s Olympia Exhibition Centre, for a mass celebration of  Beethoven’s 3rd Symphony.

Why, when they arrive, they’ll be greeted with 18” dildos, bondage tape and a show by Torture Garden, is a bit of a mystery to me though.

What?

Oh, Erotica, not Eroica. Well that would explain it. Either way, syphilis is not a pre-requisite for entry.

Still on a YouTube tip, here’s one for all the armchair VJs out there…

YouTube Doubler

Now with added start time goodness, YouTube Doubler lets you remix your choice of  any two YouTube videos, because more is more…so watch more YouTube…

…and do things like this…

Last night, amidst much controversy, Nick Griffin, the leader of  an extremist, racist, political party, appeared as a guest on the BBC’s flagship topical affairs programme ‘Question Time’…and, to borrow a phrase from Bernie Grant, got ‘a damn good hiding’. I was going to do a remix, but it seems that the consistently excellent Cassette Boy has beaten me to it…

Well I guess my work here is done.

The problem with Minimal is…there’s too much of it!

When Darwin wrote the Origin of The Species, clubbing was probably not uppermost in his mind. Nevertheless, Mark Grotefeld’s comments about natural selection and the survival of the fittest, at the launch of  Pioneer’s  brand spanking new CDJ-2000 today, seem apt, given that it’s only a matter of time before it revolutionises the DJing world in the same way that the iPhone has everything else.

I know what I want for Christmas…even if it means converting…

Remind me again, which one is Noel…the one with the big forehead, or the other one?
