Something crazy I learned about the chimp.
I just learned that humans can get blood trasfusions from chimps and chimps can get blood transfusions from humans with no ill effects due to the very close DNA. It's almost like human to human or chimp to chimp blood transfusions.

I met him, fifteen years ago. I was told there was nothing left. No reason, no conscience, no understanding; even the most rudimentary sense of life or death, good or evil, right or wrong. I met this six-year-old child, with this blind, pale, emotionless face and, the blackest eyes... the Devil's eyes! I spent eight years trying to reach him, and then another seven trying to keep him locked up for I realized what was living behind that boy's eyes was purely and simply... evil! - Dr Sam Loomis(Halloween)

I didnt know that.
Too bad people cant get brain transfers from chimps.
I can think of plenty of people who would probally be smarter after the procedure.

I got the information from 2 different shows about chimps in case anyone was wondering. One of them was the one they've been showing on Animal Planet recently with Jane Goodall. She said you can receive a blood transfusion from a chimp, but not a gorilla or orangutan. The other show I got the information from was a show on National Geogrphic Channel where these 2 brothers visit a bunch of orphaned chimps.

But the real question is, has anyone ever done it before? I would imagine it would be possible, but wouldn't some of the inherent diseases in both humans and chimps be more easily spread this way?

I think they'd be able to detect any harmful or potentially harmful diseases by screening like they do now when they do blood transfusions with human blood. And yes chimps and humans can easily get diseases from each other. The common cold, the flu, and tuberculosis are 3 big examples that can be passed back and forth without much effort on either species' part.

Then we need to start "chimp farms" so we can harvest their blood!
Of course, I would only get my blood from "free range" chimps, as opposed to those corporate run "chimp-blood factories".  |

I know a lot of people would refuse blood from chimps due to beliefs, misconceptins, etc. I wouldn't refuse it myself though.

I'll take two liters of Zira, please.
That is a very interesting fact, but potentially very disheartening given our treatment of apes in general. Their use as blood banks doesn't sound too far fetched to me.

This will be good information to remember when the Robot-Monkey Apocalypse starts.

A Møøse once bit my sister ... No realli! She was Karving her initials on the møøse with the sharpened end of an interspace tøøthbrush given her by Svenge - her brother-in-law - an Oslo dentist and star of many Norwegian møvies: "The Høt Hands of an Oslo Dentist", "Fillings of Passion", "The Huge Mølars of Horst Nordfink".
We apologise for the fault in the signature. Those responsible have been sacked.
Mynd you, møøse bites Kan be pretty nasti...
