Gorilla

2007-04-15T01:15:43Z

Ratso:

The '''gorilla''', the largest of the living primates, is a ground-dwelling omnivore that inhabits the forests of Africa. Gorillas are divided into two species and (under debate as of 2006 {{fact-science}}) either four or five subspecies. Comparison of DNA sequences of humans and gorillas show them to be 99% identical. However, this in no way proves that they share a common ancestor; common design is the most likely explanation. <ref>[http://www.answersingenesis.org/docs2.4369gc8-25-2000.asp]</ref>

Attempts have been made to teach a gorilla named Koko a form of sign language, the success of which is debatable but nonetheless fascinating.<ref>As part of her research into animal communication in 1972, a young graduate student in developmental psychology volunteered to teach sign language to a 1-year-old female Gorilla named Koko. [http://www.las.uiuc.edu/alumni/news/fall2003/03fall_Patterson.html] </ref>
[[Creationist]]s believe that gorillas were [[creation|created]] about 4000 years ago. According to evolutionary biology, humans shared a common ancestor with gorillas as recently as four to seven million years ago.<ref>http://genetics.plosjournals.org/perlserv/?request=get-document&doi=10.1371/journal.pgen.0030007</ref>

King Kong

2007-04-14T21:59:59Z

Ratso:

'''King Kong''' is a 1933 film about a giant, [[prehistoric]] [[gorilla]] that lives on "Skull Island". A group of explorers, led by filmmaker Carl Denham, and including actress Ann Darrow, travel to the island where Ann is captured by the natives and sacrificed to King Kong. The giant gorilla captures her and takes her back to his cave, but on the way there he fights a [[Tyrannosaurus Rex]] (and breaks its jaw) and a giant acquatic cave serpent. Eventually her lover, Jack Driscoll (the ship's first mate) finds her and gets her back, but Kong follows and is captured. They take him to [[New York City]] and put him on display, but he escapes because he is scared of the flash-bulbs of the reporters. He captures Ann and takes her to the top of the [[Empire State Building]], where he is gunned down by biplanes and falls to his death. It was followed by a sequel, ''[[Son of Kong]]'', and was remade twice; once in 1977, and again in 2005 by director [[Peter Jackson]].

Talk.Origins is renowned for having its own jargon. Examples include:

:"fundy loon" - anyone who believes in God or mentions the Bible. Short for the derogatory "fundamentalist lunatic."

:"goddidit" or "god of the gaps" - derisive terms for God doing anything

:"spaghetti monster" - a peculiar parody of religion
