Well they are already very good at building shelters, Orangutans, Gorillas, Chimps and Bonobos are well known to build nests in trees, but they also make use of overhanging tree branches and brush for shelter, and have been seen making their own canopies out of brush and leaves. Yes. They know how to deflect rain from overhead.
Orangutans have been seen using large leaves as umbrellas.
What scares me, that people will see what they can do, and attempt (Or reattempt, i'm sure it's been tried before) to enslave them in some way.

Reply to For someone as famous as Micheal Jackson, it's surprising that we don't have many biopics about him. by exporterofgold
I went out with a girl once and we ended up watching a Michael Jackson biopic on the TV Guide channel that didn't have any of his licensed music. It was terrible.

Yeah, there are three ways they could handle him.
-
Make it all about his "king of pop" era before he bleached himself white and let the weird stuff out. This method would get criticized for ignoring the child abuse issue.
-
Include the child molestation issue... and I don't think there's any way this could be addressed tastefully. The biopic would have to take a stance on whether or not he was guilty (personally I think he was) and would be criticized by people who are on the other side of the issue.
-
Make it about his abusive childhood and use that as a vehicle to show how it messed him up as an adult. End it right as things were about to go off the rails, kinda like The Aviator.

The Ekka show day is in August.

Reply to comment by ForceOfAHorse in Parents hate homework just as much, if not more than their kids. by PeculiarPete
What do you mean, it doesn't matter if they make a mistake doing their homework? I was never that lucky! If I didn't turn my homework in done correctly from start to finish, I'd get reprimanded in front of the class and be bullied after that by the teacher and the rest of the class, alike. Plus I'd be made into an example of what not to do. You see 😍Blank, this is the way you do it, not like blank 😠 over there that is stupid and will always be stupid, and amount to nothing, because she's unwanted by everyone, including her family. Cut back to you over there wanting the Earth to swallow you. You are a first grader, crying, and the teacher mocking your cries and provoking other students to mock you and say other aggressive things to you, and the other students following suit. There was a point where the teacher told all the students to tell me whenever I said something, to shut up and that I and my words were worthless. Then the teacher would give me an order and no one would listen to me. This would carry on until the teacher would come back and ask me how the thing went. Then when nothing of what she had told me to do was done, she would try to place the blame on me. Then the other child would say blank was insisting on doing such and such things. Then she'd proudly announce that she had barred me from doing those things. Then I, would say. See Miss BLANK, I did try to do what you told me to do, but Blank barred me from doing that which you told me to do. I still got blamed most of the time because people were used to punishing me, and they did not want to lose the bribe that was given to them Blank's parents every Friday or every two weeks.

I guess he just never permitted them, he wasn't exactly a fan of media and the music industry. But they are currently working on a biopic of him. The project is in the hands of Antoine Fuqua, the man that worked on video clips for prince and that directed gangsta's paradise. I read today that they casted his nephew Jaafar Jackson as Michael.

They're incredible creatures, I wonder how long it'll be before they start to create and build things, maybe small huts, houses, shelters.
I'm fairly certain we could teach them how to build and they'd remember it and pass down the knowledge.

Perhaps people are afraid of having to deal with his private life issues.

Uh, the news has never been about "finding solutions", nor should it be.

Oh most certainly. Just by watching they learn, and have shown to teach the skills they have watched and learned to the younger generation.
I think the best 1 to pin point this isn't the use of tools/weapons. But the use of soap.

Definitely doesn't seem the bar of soap will help with their foul language though.

Whether or not they're successful, chimps and orangutans organising things and building tools is crazy, they're basically primitive people.

I think they won't include the allegations, most the allegations happened after he died. He was investigated before but the FBI declared him innocent. And his family has most likely given permission for the movie so I would be surprised if they include it.
