yesterday was...

a good day for:

Gorillas, with the announcement, from the Cincinnati Zoo's Centre for Endangered Wildlife, that the world's first test-tube gorilla baby is expected in December. The news came on the 17th anniversary of the birth of the world's first test-tube human.

a bad day for:

Cowboys, whose reputation for shooting-from-the-hip, tough individualism was dented by the news that they want to create a Professional Rodeo Players Association with health insurance and collective bargaining.
