Our Illustrious Ancestor, Ham the Magnificent, made his historic journey into space. Through cosmic processes not understood even to this day by our most illustrious scientific minds, Ham became the progenitor of all ape-kind. May his glorious name be remembered forever.
Upon reading this and this. One must really question the wisdom of these folks. This can’t be a coincidence, right?
According to NASA, Ham was named after the Holloman Aeronautics Medical Center in New Mexico where the chimps were housed and trained.
Of course, that’s probably a lie. If it were true, the chimp would have been named “Hamc”, and that makes no sense at all. I’m sure the real reason they named him "Ham’"was so they could feel justified in enslaving the poor beast and forcing him to fly a space capsule, using banana pellets and electric shocks during the training process.
Here’s your choice: electric shock, or banana pellet. That’s the real “Curse of Ham.”
