Happy Birthday, Jenny!!

OK, so I just finished watching Charlton Heston in "Planet of the Apes" for the 47th time and this is the first story I see on the Associated Press wire at work:

DALLAS (AP) — A gorilla recognized as the world’s oldest in captivity celebrated her 55th birthday by munching down a four-layer frozen fruit cake and banana leaf wrapped treats.
Jenny’s caretakers at the Dallas Zoo say she’s having a few joint issues and her eyesight isn’t what it used to be but she still looks good for an old ape.

Will tomorrow's headline read "55-year-old ape dies from clogged arteries after eating four-layer fruit cake?"

By the way, am I the only guy who thinks Dr. Zira from "Planet of the Apes" is kinda hot?
