Researchers found that chimpanzees and bonobos were able to recognize photos of former group mates after more than 25 years apart, according to a new study from Johns Hopkins University.

"Apes remember long lost friends and family they have not seen in decades"!
Next the Facebook article showed a photo of two Apes sitting next to each other peacefully. As though they were, you know, like having a chat. Here is what I believe was happening in that chat.
"HEY WHAT IS HAPPENING MY BROTHER"?! " "Not much man, where's Mom, did she ask about me"? "Are you kidding, she went Ape ---- when you took off in the bush, she was so happy!"! "YEAH''? "YEAH MAN, she did 3 backflips and two rollovers; she said she was tired of you eating up all of the vegetables''! "HA, HA, SHE RIGHT ABOUT THAT, CAUSE I DO LOVE MY GREENS, ya know"? "Yeah, well you better get up outta here before her and her new boyfriend get back here...they left me here to guard the vegetables and you ain't getting any of them BRA"! "Wait, what happened to Pop"? "Hey, all I know is this new dude named Bobo showed up and Pop said, ("are you lost, son"? Bobo said, "Is that you woman"? Pop said, you better step off son"!) Before you knew it, Bobo dropped kicked Pop right out of the tree where he fell to the earth and died instantly! "What did Mom do"?! She just yelled "Dinner Everybody, yeah Pop tasted pretty good, almost like chicken but a little bit gamey, you know"? "Word"? "Yeah straight up man, then after dinner she looked at Bobo and said ("Take Me") and just like the crazed animal that he is, that is exactly what he did! Grabbed her by the hand and took her to his crib, I ain't lying either, that's the truth"! "Well this Bobo guy is pretty tough, yeah"? "If I was you, I'd hop my vegetable stealing behind up out of here like jungle quick, I’m just saying; it was nice visiting with you Bra, now Ski and Dattle"! "Word, I am up out of here see you later, but before I go, can I have them Broccolis"?
