Baboons are monkeys - big 'uns.

Gorillas, chimps(2 species), orangutans and... humans are in the so-called "great apes" and are not monkeys.

Both the great apes and monkeys are in a larger group - the Order Primates (together with some smaller brained things...).

So, technically, calling this chimp a monkey is worse than calling it a gorilla.

If you are lucky, this chimp does not read much on the Internet and will not see the spurious comment, buy itself a plane ticket out there and eat your face off. But ya never know...

You are SO FKN'G ERUDITE!

Which brings up a pet peeve of mine: people who pronounce "erudite" "airy-you-dite". That really pisses me off!

Thank you (but me personally? I knew that. ).
