    @canefan Without delving into things too deeply surely the challenge of jumping into an enclosure is to meet whatever is in there?
    Idiotic, but he has admitted that.

    jumping into a zoo enclosure

    I have to ask - what was in the enclosure with you and your broken foot?

    Ah, yeah, starting to feel I shouldn't have admitted this, but...
    Chimpanzee enclosure,
    they were locked up for the night,
    we'd hidden in the bushes until zoo staff had closed up for the night.
    And yeah, I know... idiot.
    Still - breaking out of an enclosure designed to keep freaking chimpanzees in, then the zoo itself, with a broken foot... that's some credit? Right?

    @kruse Chimps. They can be nasty (I've seen planet of the apes). Not bad, better than tortoises, not as good as tigers.They kind of needed to be there though.

    Yes, some credit for not getting caught with a broken foot in a chimp enclosure. I would imagine that the motivation to get out was quite high.

    The idiot owner treated it like a human and it became overprotective and ate her friends face . They shot the fluffybunny of a thing about nine times before it stopped.

    He was the most famous ape in America. But to really understand a chimp, you have to know his mother.

    They like to remove human testicles and eat them too . Did I mention I hate chimps?

    Chimps look cuddly and fun but they still have that freakish primate strength that would enable them to dismember an All Black prop if they felt the urge.

    It makes Clint Eastwood Hollywood's most legendary tough fluffybunny ( even more so ) for starring in two different movies with an Orang Utan. Pussies these days would have to rely on a CGI one.

    I remember reading years ago that orangutan was mistreated (beaten) to get it to act. Quite sad what we used to do to animals for entertainment.

    That is sad to hear. Whoever played Clyde was probably the best actor in the whole movie.

    Not Clints finest four or so hours ( counting the sequel too )

    If you are opposed to meat products would you eat pretend meat?

    For people who purport to not want to eat meat, it is a funny preoccupation to have. Perhaps they are trying to temp meat eaters who would consider swinging to the other side?

    I had an ex who was vege simply because she couldn't stomach eating meat. She'd try all those not bacon's etc as substitutes.

    Did she eat any other kind of meat or is that why you split up?

    Holy shit. This is incredible. Not only did they do a story on it (just imagine what would have had to have happened in order to get to this point) , they also got comment from a companies operations director to comment as well as an expert comment from some bloke at Massey Uni.

    Weep for the state of media in NZ.

    anyone who is always up before the sun without a damn good reason is a creepy fuck.

    I would heartily support a public flogging, let alone a banning from a Facebook page.

    While good, god-fearing people are safe and sound in their beds, this creep is up. Possibly taking photos of your undies on washing lines. And what do the authorities do about it? Nothing. Thankfully, one group of Facebook admins had the courage to stand up for what's right. This is their story

    @rocky-rockbottom and @mariner4life
    When Oscar Wilde said that "sarcasm is the lowest form of wit", he finished it with "but the highest form of intelligence".

    You should both be commended.

    I must admit that I don't live that far from Torbay, and I am a little frightened by this sort of horror less than a couple of hours away. I mean what next - sunset photos? Fuck.

    I agree with him; his photos aren't professional.

    A few minutes of flight time and it takes them days to find the black boxes. What are the chances in a Malaysian Airlines scenario other than zero? Amazing that they haven't sorted out some other recording system that isn't housed in the plane. Or they have but they're too tight to implement it

    https://www.stuff.co.nz/motoring/108269078/who-wears-the-trousers-when-it-comes-to-driving-your-family-car

    Funny article. I drive 100% of the time unless drunk when my wife and I are in the car, and I'll be fucked if that's changing any time soon especially for the long hauls. She also prefers to be in the passenger seat as that allows her precious social media time on her phone.

    I think there are more men that enjoy driving than there are women, doubt that's going to change

    The whole thing will be a moot point soon when Elon rolls out his driverless cars to the public anyway,

    @no-quarter Without reading the article (Ferning at its best) I'd say there's no hard and fast rule. I know couples where the woman exclusively drives and I know couples where it's the opposite, and when couples have two cars usually it just depends on whose car they're driving.
