Chimp Does Hamlet

    Newer Older

    Feel free to use this image.
    Inspired by Casey Carlin's recent photos taken at Chester Zoo but thwarted in my attempts to get there I dug out this old image from my last visit a few years ago.
    Men much wiser than I propose that an infinite number of monkeys (yes I know Chimps are primates) would eventually type out Shakespeare's most famous play in it's entirety. That may be so but here's one who wasn't hanging about waiting for his cousins to pass him the manuscript hot off the typewriter.
    The rest is silence as they say (in Hamlet Act V, scene II)

    Casey Carlin, Steffen Jakob, Bruce Lemons, photographer-without-a-name, and 15 other people added this photo to their favorites.

      Funny, I've immediately thought it was more like Mark Anthony from Julius Caesar

      Just used "Chimp Does Hamlet" on my blog. The photo actually gave me the motivation to write the post so thanks for both the photo AND the motivation. Here's the link: Thoughts and fears about dying (and living!) (I hope the attribution is correct . . . still learning how to do this)
