Ook? I’m so impressed to see so many Pratchett fans. The first North American Disc World convention was in Tempe, AZ last weekend, and we had a ball. It was insanely funny, and Terry was in rare form despite his illness. Favorite moment was during the opening ceremony when he had a beer bottle in one hand and the microphone in the other, and kept trying to speak into the bottle.

OMG that is the librarian from Terry Pratchett!!! Good gad, I never pictured him as quite so rotund, but then again he does love to eat his bananas.

Katja- Well, I know the hair on the back of my neck gets riled at Madonna, and not in a good way. Maybe that is the same reflex handed down (up? from our ancient ancestors.

Aw, I LOVE him. I can’t even begin to figure out how he’s got his hands and feet tucked up like that. He kind of reminds me of the hedgehogs-acting-as-croquet-balls in Alice in Wonderland, rolled up in a ball that way.

Somebody asked what evolutionary purpose it might serve him to be sitting in that fashion – I can’t think of one, unless he’s cold or just sad/upset and needs a little self-hug to soothe himself. He’s kind of decreased his apparent size in this position, rather than increased it, so I’m not sure if it’s a defense thing. I don’t know if orangs do it, but when chimpanzees are riled up their body hair will fluff up all over to make them look bigger. They look so cute and fluffular and snuggly…until they start chasing other chimps with their giant canines bared.

Also, hear hear to indy1110′s statement about NO to palm oil!

Not so much cute as awesome, I’d say. Orangs are the coolest of apes.

I THINK BABY AND YOUNG ORANGS ARE THE CUTEST THINGS IN THE WORLD (NEXT TO MY GRANDCHILDREN) BUT MATURE MALE ORANGS ARE AMONG THE UGLIEST THINGS IN THE WORLD. I REALLY DISLIKE LOOKING AT THAT THING ON THE TOP OF THEIR HEADS. THEY CAN’T HELP IT BUT NEITHER CAN IT.
