Why "Primate Programming"? I'm a primate and I program. What's the big deal? -- EricHodges

Wait, does someone else here read the Conversatron, or is it just happy coincidence that Primate Programming was simultaneously mentioned at two of my favorite web locations?

a coincidence...

Not a coincidence. The AP ran the story and everyone started sending it around.

DilBert cartoon:

A MicroSoft HumanResources interviewer: I'm going to give you a story problem to see if you qualify to work at Microsoft.

Dilbert: Okay.

A MicroSoft HumanResources interviewer: You walk into a room containing a gibbon, a rhesus monkey, and a chimpanzee holding a banana. Who is the smartest primate in the room?

Later that evening, Dilbert's sitting on his couch unloading to his pet dog.

Dilbert: How was I supposed to remember that humans are also primates??
