Justice v. Simian: We are not your friends
Wednesday, January 16, 2008

A chimpanzee cannot be considered a person, Austria's Supreme Court ruled on Tuesday, according to animal rights activists.

An animal rights group had sought to have the chimp, who's been named Matthew Hiasl Pan, declared a person in hopes of gaining guardianship of the animal.

The shelter where Matthew has lived for 25 years is going bankrupt, threatening to leave him homeless. Donors have offered to help support him, but under Austrian law, only a person can receive personal gifts.

The Vienna-based Association Against Animal Factories sought to have him declared a person and petitioned to be appointed Matthew's trustee.

But the high court upheld a September ruling by a judge in the town of Wiener Neustadt rejecting the petition, the group said on Tuesday.

Bee Beeb See Nudes

"Super Cally Go Ballistic, Celtic Are Atrocious"

This was in The Sun after Caledonian Thistle caused an upset by humping Celtic. Whoever came up with that deserves a payrise.

p.s. I don't support either team, just thought it was funny.
 
I can't remember which papers they were from- probably the red-tops- but both of these were for when George Michael got arrested

"Zip Me Up Before You Go-Go"

and

"Careless Wrister"

Also, when Elton John got married it was

"Elton Takes David Up The Aisle"

:p
