And how many people do you know whose vacations were ruined because they were eaten by undetected gorillas?

What did that have to do with Squid... isn't friday dedicated to "cool" things squid related/themed :) I searched for muppet+squid and was dissapointed, came back with fishing lures and a (British?) show I never heard of... Posted by: Rich Rumble at March 27, 2009 1:36 PM I love how the detector worked - but only AFTER Dr. Bunsen was carried off by the gorilla. Technically, it was a successful gorilla detection. Posted by: Mo at March 27, 2009 2:12 PM > How many times have you Only once, but it turned out to be the gorilla my dreams. Posted by: Karl Lembke at March 27, 2009 2:24 PM > it turned out to be the gorilla my dreams. A somewhat friendlier way for two flesh to become one. Posted by: Tangerine Blue at March 27, 2009 2:32 PM "Expect the TSA to install them at all airports." How else can you nip gorilla warfare in the bud? Posted by: Romeo Vitelli at March 27, 2009 2:56 PM Dr. Bunsen Honeydew reminds me of Rick Steeves (on PBS). Posted by: andyinsdca at March 27, 2009 3:42 PM It was not a gorilla. It was so obviously fake -- a giant squid in a gorilla suit. Posted by: Darth Wader at March 27, 2009 3:50 PM Hey, even Captain Kirk had his vacation ruined when he was bitten by a Mugatu. Posted by: Rick Auricchio at March 27, 2009 4:13 PM Everybody knows it’s just a ploy by the gorilla suit companies to sell their products. Posted by: Beta at March 27, 2009 4:40 PM @notagorilla Only if it's a baby gorilla. Posted by: John Clayton at March 29, 2009 12:49 PM they should collaborate with those people doing the combat robot ethics stuff, there was some detection involved in that story, too... .~. Posted by: dot tilde dot at March 30, 2009 4:57 AM I don't know .. but people in the news media routinely see an "800 pound Gorilla" in the room. Posted by: sooth sayer at March 30, 2009 7:47 AM I think Jim Henson missed the bet on this one: the alarm should have gone off when the gorilla appeared, but Doctor Bunsen interpreted this as a false alarm, and was so busy trying to fix it that he failed to notice the gorilla.
