2) Another reason why orangutans are the world's coolest animal.

I have very mixed feelings about zoos, especially the ones that keep great apes. But I just love to see these fantastic animals up close. I'll have to make sure I get to their natural habitat before they're all gone.

3) A long weekend! The first one I haven't worked since Thanksgiving! (That's October in Canada).

Time to go to the pub.

Update: here's the original Orangutan paper in Current Biology.

    I miss Stephen Colbert so much!

    More4 has 'The Daily Show', but I doubt any UK channel will ever get 'The Colbert Report'.

    Blake - you are very welcome! I do like your blog, even if it is often over my head.

    Didn't you go to see Colbert live once?
