Baboons are dangerous and attracted by food.

Higher than a slogan, more sage than a poem, less utterly useless than a meme, it is my dream that this statement slowly capture the imagination of a generation. For now, though, it’s just the caption on a sign I read once and constitutes a replacement for random Latin text on a web site that does nothing much.

It does, however, offer some interesting connection points for discussion. Such as, why was such a vicious creature endowed by its Creator with more brain cells and yet less self-control than your average dinoflagellate?

At the very least, I would like to see this quote replace “The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog” as the default font preview text. It has much more practical application, for baboon enthusiasts and the people that love them.

That is all.
