#1 The PSOE's justification is that humans share 98.4% of our genes with chimpanzees, 97.7% with gorillas, and 96.4% with orangutans.

Human's share 50% of their genes with Sea Slugs.

To think these morons actually got elected.

#2 The figure I always heard was that it was something like a 60% overlap with cabbage.

I think it explains a lot.

#5 Does this apply to marriage rights? I guess you really could be a monkey's uncle in Madrid.

#9 "seeking a UN declaration on simian rights which would defend ape interests..."

This makes sense. After all, apes have the inherent right of universal dignity to randomly fling their fecal matter without the ridicule of their arrogant human cousins.

#10 CF is right: they've massively expanded their voting pool.

#11 Funny, I was entertaining the idea of proposing the same law for liberals. But then I came to my senses.

#14 I can seee it now: Today, Hillary Clinton visited the Bronx Zoo to give a speech on fresh letuce. She was repeatedly interrupted by a signifying monkey. Willy, the monkey signaled her with his middle finger and his upper lip. Hillary got the message and broke for lunch early.

#16 Let me see if I have this straight:

Apes, which share 98.4% of our genes, are going to be declared persons and extended legal protections.

Fetuses and Terri Schiavo, who have 100% human DNA, are not persons and may freely be put down.

Does that mean I get an "A," Professor Singer?

#18 So, the Spanish have decided that Basil Fawlty was right? That apes are their equals? Neat. Way to go, Zappy...
