I, for one, welcome our spear-wielding chimp overlords.

New Scientist: Wild chimpanzees create spears and use them to hunt and kill smaller primates for food. So what is it, exactly, that separates us from chimps? (Via Boing Boing)

Bigger, better spears.

I haven’t speared anything for food lately, so I feel sufficiently smug. :)

You keep referencing this overlords quote. What’s the orginal and why is it funny?

Overlords aren’t funny, they’re bad. yeah, just plain bad.

The original is from the Simpsons – read the “Overlord meme” section here for an explanation. (Or find and watch the episode named there, which is funnier than reading an explanation.)

I can imagine a bushbaby, under attack, repeating the immortal words of Charlton Heston, “Take your stinking paws off me, you damned dirty ape!”
