Yes, it is a sad day in movieland.
Cheetah the Chimp has passed away at the age of 80 after a long movie career.
PALM HARBOR, Fla. (AP) — A Florida animal sanctuary says Cheetah the chimpanzee sidekick in the Tarzan movies of the early 1930s has died at age 80.
The Suncoast Primate Sanctuary in Palm Harbor announced that Cheetah died Dec. 24 of kidney failure.
Sanctuary outreach director Debbie Cobb on Wednesday told The Tampa Tribune ( http://bit.ly/rRuTeJ ) that Cheetah was outgoing, loved finger painting and liked to see people laugh. She says he seemed to be tuned into human feelings.
Based on the works of author Edgar Rice Burroughs, the Tarzan stories, which have spawned scores of books and films over the years, chronicle the adventures of a man who was raised by apes in Africa.
Cheetah was the comic relief in the Tarzan films that starred American Olympic gold medal swimmer Johnny Weissmuller. Cobb says Cheetah came to the sanctuary from Weissmuller's estate sometime around 1960.
Cobb says Cheetah wasn't a troublemaker. Still, sanctuary volunteer Ron Priest says that when the chimp didn't like what was going on, he would throw feces.
My condolances to all his extended family.
R.I.P. my hairy friend.
He ain't heavy, he's my brother.

I had no idea they lived that long.
Did that sound racist?

It must be very liberating to throw poop at people you don't like.
I find that very appealing in a bizarre way.

I wonder if Bubbles the chimp will attend the funeral? Or has Bubbles passed already too? Because I think there was a Bubbles 1 and a Bubbles 2 chimp. Because the original Bubbles had died.

Hey Maggot, I am wondering if there will be a service where people can pay their respects? I wonder if you will attend?

Maybe if you're wearing gloves. Otherwise it'd get under your fingernails.

Aussie has been pretending to be Ramsey for the last 3 months, so much for your powers of observation.

Oh look Duchess found herself a new pussy picture.
The toilet paper is supposed to go in the toilet after you wipe, how many times have you been told that?
