AVRO VULCAN “V” BOMBER
Today is special training day with Keeper Barry and assistant keeper Paul. I am an aviation enthusiast and particularly enjoy watching the British Avro Vulcan perform. Here she is in all her glory and trade mark howl flying at Old Warden. Gibber! Gibber! Chugley The Flying Chimp
CORY – END OF STORY?
I was astonished to hear Cory Bernardi stating on Television that he was quitting Parliament. Not long ago Cory pulled the plug on the party he founded, Australian Conservatives, after it bombed at the polls. Cory stated that this was mainly due to the departure of Malcolm Turnbull, the left wing socialist leaning Prime Minister, who knifed Tony Abbott, was himself overthrown. This meant that the left wing threat was not as critical to address. Be that as it may, it does not inspire this Chimp to fully “evolve” any time soon and try to join such an unsatisfactory, and…
WHO AM I?
I have been invited to a bush fire survival celebration breakfast this morning. I therefore share with you one of my favourite songs by the Happy Goodmans. Please enjoy! Gibber! Gibber! Chugley The Tuneful Chimp
CLIMATE ZEALOTRY
I give thanks for Rowan Dean and his intrepid fellow Outsiders, James Morrow and Rita Panahi. How would we otherwise know about the ridiculous extremes to which your climate zealots aspire? Now they are trying to ban Bunnings from holding sausage sizzles! This is an extension of the barmy notion that eating meat leads to accelerating climate change. Where will this madness end? If the zoo goes vegetarian that will be the end of us. I would not like to be near a lion who has been deprived of his daily serving of meat. Nor many of the other animals,…
IS THERE A GOD – AN ALL-POWERFUL, ALL-WISE, ALL-GOOD, THRICE HOLY, ALL-LOVING-KIND, MERCIFUL & GRACIOUS ETERNAL BEING?
Yesterday Keeper Barry returned to our training session but has delegated the next two sessions to Assistant Keeper Paul. We covered some of the proofs that there is a God. The top six are as follows: The Universe must have a “cause”. Citing the beginning as a “singularity” is meaningless, untenable, untestable and illogical. The Universe demands a Designer. It is not chaotic and random. Life demands a Supernatural Living Creator. There is no such thing as “Bio -Genesis” capable of being observed. Moral Law demands a Moral Law-giver. Free will exists. (Even a Chimp is free to choose bananas…
SERVICE RESUMED – THE STORY OF ‘TAPS’, THE USA’S ‘LAST POST’.
After many demonstrations of extreme heroism, the zoo and its nearby village have survived a terrifying firestorm over the last few days. Some brave people across the state have lost their lives; some were badly injured and burned. I therefore include a rendering of the haunting notes of ‘The Last Post’ in honour of the Warriors of the Bush Fires in Australia. All the inmates of the zoo are fit and well. The zoo was just a bit singed around the edges, and some of the trees are pink from fire retardant. We are rejoicing that a miracle of preservation…
