Good movie, but I wonder why people are making a big deal of this being some sort of proof that we are like apes (an therefore descended from them) when there are a LOT of animals that lure mates with various tactics and items.
Jeremy: The 'humanist' viewpoint of biology/psychology states that humans are fundamentally different from animals. People who are opposed to this idea (myself included) like to point and say, "look, look, we're animals too."
Also, most biologists don't believe humans descended from apes, but rather that humans and apes descended from a common ancestor.
Most of what I write is serious business. This blog offers a healthy outlet for my inexplicable need to write nonsense and entertain my friends. Enjoy.

That was pretty funny -- I especially like the "tail for tail policy" line and the last line.
