This morning I read that Timu, the world's first test tube gorilla, is not bonding with her newborn. Sad, right? Then I saw a picture of the newborn and couldn't help but wondering if the secret ingredient in that test tube was taste. That baby ugly! I wouldn't bond with it, either. The thing looks like a hairy turd in a blanket. Or like a slightly darker Charlie O'Connell, TV's The Bachelor.
