      Yes, I was thinking the same thing! It had to have burned his throat at least!
      About the “well, not we’ll” no worries! Believe me, I have those days quite often! 🙂

    I love the artistic chimp! And yes I think the guy who came up with the pingpong ball hallucinations is definitely in need of something more constructive to do!

    I understand chimps IQ, DNA and tool wise are the closest to us homo sapiens of any other creature except mushrooms. Maybe some are more artistic than most of us.

    Did anybody ever try to do the “two halves of a ping pong ball, red light, and static” experiment on Pierre Brassau? It might have given him some ideas for more paintings.
