However, very interesting for sculpting purposes.

The gibbon and orangutan do look very alien in that picture.

I'd say moer WEIRD than WERID though.

alien BLOODY HELL surfer25 Sep 2007 2:10 a.m. PST

and more of course rather then moer ;-p

Creepy as a shaved ape…

Andy Skinner Supporting Member of TMP25 Sep 2007 3:35 a.m. PST

I've got the shaved chimps, that's chimps devoid of any hair.
I've got depraved chimps dressed up in women's underwear.

Another postcard with chimpanzees. And every one is addressed to me.

What a fun song-- I was just listening to it yesterday in my car!

lugal hdan25 Sep 2007 5:46 a.m. PST

LOL Alxbates – that's going to be my new saying for anything creepy.

cfielitz25 Sep 2007 6:10 a.m. PST

Those look like they are out of the old Time/Life series on science. That picture is from the Evolution volume. Its supposed to show what the various great apes look like without hair.

Scurvy25 Sep 2007 6:18 a.m. PST

the really scary bit is not one species there has a weiner. Never knew the great apes were so adept at working a clone vat.

John the OFM25 Sep 2007 6:34 a.m. PST

Yeah, that is scary, Scurvy. What else are they doing that we don't know about?

Cacique Caribe25 Sep 2007 6:39 a.m. PST

I guess they only used castrated specimens. Too werid!

Captain Apathy25 Sep 2007 7:15 a.m. PST

I think I have a name for the leader of my Ape Gang in Necromunda now.

Moer Werid

… and the gang name can be The Shaved Apes.

What do you think?

Cacique Caribe25 Sep 2007 7:23 a.m. PST

The Urban Dictionary actually has something interesting (and applicable here) about "werid":

"The collection of hair (and other things) that block up the plughole in a shower or bath
Example: Eww man, can you get the werid outta there? I need to take a shower"

link

If the Urban Dictionary has it, then it must be a real word. :)

After you shave the apes, their hair is sure to clog the drains. Yep, that makes a lot of sense.

coryfromMissoula25 Sep 2007 8:22 a.m. PST

Yeah, the plugged drains are why I prefer to shave apes in the wild.

Steve Hazuka25 Sep 2007 10:48 a.m. PST

Grape Ape was another weird ape.

The Gonk25 Sep 2007 4:46 p.m. PST

Do no apes have external genitalia???

Cacique Caribe25 Sep 2007 6:59 p.m. PST

Apparently they are seedless great apes. :)

Olaf the hairy25 Sep 2007 8:05 p.m. PST

I went to school with some of those guys.

Zephyr125 Sep 2007 8:11 p.m. PST

Somehow I can't see an ape sitting still while having it's body shaved. And if somebody tried to wax it, they'd probably lose a limb or two…. ;)

tnjrp25 Sep 2007 9:57 p.m. PST

In Clive Barker's "The New Murders at Rue Morgue" the gorilla shaved himself… So either you taech 'em do that or use an anasthethic on the subjects.

"Apparently they are seedless great apes."

Nice CC!

I don't know what happened to that initial link, but here's a similar one, in case someone wants to see the obvious differences in proportions:
