Parallels from our close relations ...

Chimpanzees pass down a secret handshake

Chimpanzees pass down a 'secret handshake' through the generations, according to a new study.

Researchers found that troops of chimps pass on traditions, including the handshake, from one generation to the next - and they differ from group to group.

When chimps are cleaning, they adopt a 'grooming handclasp' - two chimps clasp onto each other's arms, raise them in the air and groom each other with their free hand.

Previous research suggest this handclasp may be a cultural phenomenon - like how people greet each other - but only some chimpanzee colonies practise this grooming behaviour.

That's the problem with this supernatural stuff, it doesn't really solve anything. It's a placeholder for ignorance.

Derr, they use it to pass the chimp angels that stand as sentinels, on their path back to chimp heaven, to live with chimp God and his hybrid son that he magically impregnated into one of his chimp daughters.

“F” me! I've gone MAD!!!
