Very interesting question indeed... But before we can actually answer it, we'll have to wait and see if Ms Alperin and Ms Keller's claim is indeed true. After all, if the claim is made up (which the defense lawyer claims) then Mrs Patterson may not have exposed her breasts repeatedly after all.

I wonder if she also went to the bathroom with her though? ;-)

why...apparently enough that she thinks Koko is bored with them.

Alerted by another list, I offer the following:

And I am not making this up.

(Personally, I think Penny Patterson's claims for Koko have been fantasy for a very long time. And why would Koko, a _female_ gorilla, have such prurient interests? Isn't this a guy gorilla kind of thing?)
