Good Morning America forces modesty on monkeys I'm going to admit straight out - this really has nothing to do with health, but it's too funny and I have to share it. Remember a couple of weeks ago when that guy from Baltimore was getting all that attention for swimming back and forth in a pool in Beijing? I'm sure you probably heard something about that. Editors and reporters went to great lengths to feature Michael Phelps in any way they could. And if sometimes they had to stretch for it, no matter - just get that guy's photo on page one! During that period of Phelpsmania, you may have caught the item about the victory dance. Researchers at the University of British Columbia compared photos of 2004 Olympians and found that blind athletes, who could never have seen a victory dance, actually went through the same victorious movements as sighted victors. Their conclusion: Responding to a win with a victory dance is an instinctive trait. In fact, they say it's instinctive to all primates. I was watching Good Morning America's report about this study, and along with a clip of Mr. Phelps doing one of his many victory dances, they also showed a chimp doing a similar dance. Of course, the chimp wasn't wearing a bathing suit, so the good folks at GMA prudently inserted a digital blur over the chimp's…bathing suit area. Hilarious. Thank you, GMA, for protecting our eyes from the sight of a naked chimp. We wouldn't want any kids to catch a glimpse of a Full Monty primate. |
