Monkey's can't really talk, they have vocal chords like a dog. I'm sure a hyperintelligent chimp could type and solve math problems, but speech is a physical impossibility. Fun to read though, I'd love to see what the monster does when it starts moving around at the end of the 2nd act.

I forgot about that. I remember reading that the location of their voice box (along with other monkeys and apes) basically makes it impossible for speech, but prevents choking from food. Humans have their voice boxes in a different location in the throat that allows for speech, but also allows us to be susceptible to choking while eating.

Ya, we can teach an ape sign language and they can communicate pretty well, their chords are just too short.:( Sorry monkeys.

(BTW, "Planet of the Apes" movies are cool because they have hot chicks in cages...


Oh yeah, landmark science fiction, social commentary, all that jazz...but mainly, hot chicks in cages)
