This looks like palpable nonsense. However, someone may know better, in which case this needs a clarification and source verification. Simon Cursitor 14:18, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- "One very desperate individual came forward and admittef that he had repeatedly fathered children with his pet chimp daisy". Er, right. Would be BJAODN if it weren't for the total lack of capitalization and punctuation. Radiant_* 14:29, Jun 1, 2005 (UTC)
- Delete, as the article is a falsification and probably abuse. There was a chimp called Oliver that walked upright and had less hair than a chimp normally does (e.g. seemed more human than the average chimp) but was genetically 100% chimpanzee. I believe there was a TV programme about it (which of course spent an hour saying 'could he be the missing link' before admitting that he clearly wasn't.) [1]. A proper article would warrant a keep, this warrants a speedy delete. Average Earthman 14:49, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- Speedy deleted. A quick look shows many google hits for this title with many conflicting stories; whether mutant chimp or just an urban legend, perhaps an encyclopedic article could be written about Oliver, but the dubious ramble listed here certainly wasn't one (looked like a semi-literate grade school vanity insult). -- Infrogmation 14:52, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- We had an article for Chuman, so I put in a redirect.--Arcadian 23:23, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
