Les Halles Cookbook.

The first sentence of the recipe Poulet Roti begins

"That's Roast Chicken, numbnuts! And if you can't properly roast a chicken, then you are one helpless, hopeless, sorry-ass bivalve in an apron. Take that apron off, wrap it around your neck and hang yourself."

Damn

Wrestling Legend Big Van Vader Dead at 63

I was never big into wrestling but my brother and several friends were so I recognize Vader. It is sad to see another of the big 80's stars go but having learned of the strain and abuse they put on their bodies, I am no longer surprised anymore when one goes due to something like this.

As you may recall, Vader underwent open-heart surgery in March. Vader spoke in-depth with Bill Apter about the surgery before it happened and called himself a “walking time bomb” due to having ten clogged blood vessels.

Damn.

Koko the Gorilla has passed away at the age of 46

That's still young I think. I thought the great apes lived as long as humans.

Did some googling, when Columbus Zoo's Colo passed away Jan 2017 at the age of 60, their press release on it indicated "At 60 years of age she was the oldest gorilla on record and exceeded her normal life expectancy by more than two decades"

So 40 or so (probably upwards of 50 years and maybe a bit more for those in captivity?) seems to be the average life-span of gorillas.

 

[Enriquespy]

Koko was a loving, affectionate and curious non-human person. May she rest in peace.

 

[Schlosser85]

Apparently gorillas' average lifespan is 35-40 years, so Koko was right in the normal range.

 

[terry78]

Koko was an anomaly.

Koko was an anomaly.

No, she was an angel!!!

Okay. Thanks.
