Meme Watch: "East African Plains Ape"

I am no longer the only person on the Internets talking about the East African Plains Ape:

Achenblog: Daily Humor and Observations from Joel Achenbach : ...I am happy knowing that some of my fellow East African Plains Apes are making that trip into space... (comment by md)

And:

crshalizi: ...the primate visual cortex is a remarkable thing, and does a marvelous job of analyzing the kinds of patterns needed to get East African Plains Apes through their natural life-cycles, but it was never supposed to cope with massive collections of high-dimensional multi-variate data...

Far may the meme spread!
