Have you heard the joke, “Where does an 800-pound gorilla sleep?”
“Anywhere he wants.”
That’s how strong a gorilla is.
As a continuation, but many, many people think that Lobster Sauce in Chinese restaurants is made from lobsters.
For the record, I buy baby oil only from small businessmen.
And once the oil is extracted, the rest is made into baby powder.
A gorilla could stop an Atlas booster from taking off if it wanted to. The meteor that blew up over Russia was in fact a mountain thrown by a gorilla in central Africa.
The force of a nuclear explosion is measured in megatons; by contrast a gorilla is so powerful they had to invent an entirely new measurement of force just for gorillas, and even on that scale a gorilla is off the chart.
That’s right, gorilla strength is now measured on the Scoville scale. A full-grown gorilla measures in at several million Scovilles.
ETA: By contrast, a full-grown alligator weighs in at a measly several-hundred Scovilles.
That’s Scovillas, sounds much better.
Let’s just say you don’t want to be downwind of a gorilla. Or upwind of a male gorilla in the mood.
All of which are derived from Norrises (resting values).
Except if a large bear wants to sleep there, in which case viz. Post 6.
We’ve got a Scovillas for sale…
I stopped reading when the responses got too cuties for me.
I saw video of a group of stupid white tourists come across a silverback, of all critters.
The guide immediately told them to NOT look it in the eye - that is a challenge to male gorillas.
A fellow who loooked like he might weigh 150 pounds promptly made eye contact.
Range was 50’
In less than 2 seconds the gorilla had picked him up by the ankle and dragged him into the bushes - like a rag doll (just a raaagggg dolll, such a pretty…).
The guide followed and made bluffing noises and flapped his jacket and got the twit back.
Lesson - if you want to make eye contact, be behind LOTS of steel.
Ah, yes, I’ve heard of the fondness of revolutionaries for gorilla warfare.
Thanks for letting us know. We’ll try to be less “cuties” in the future to avoid offending your sensibilities. :rolleyes:
Care to clarify what the color of their skin had to do with anything?
He had a purdy mouth.
