“I think of the chimp, the one with the talking hands. In the course of the experiment, that chimp had a baby. Imagine how her trainers must have thrilled when the mother, without prompting, began to sign her newborn. Baby, drink milk. Baby, play ball.

Theyâ€™ll force you to ask yourself the hard questions, theyâ€™ll kick your ass, and most importantly, theyâ€™ll turn you on.”
