Associated Press
Aug. 5, 2003 | DES MOINES, Iowa -- A Web site that spoofs the computer programming industry by offering chimpanzees and baboons to work for as little as 50 cents an hour has taken its monkey business too far, according to the Iowa Primate Learning Sanctuary.
The Web site touts a fictitious Des Moines-based company called Primate Programming Inc., which it says was based on work done at the primate center showing apes can learn language and perform complex cognitive tasks.
Officials at the research center were not amused and asked the Web site's developer, Dan Mezick, to remove all references to the primate sanctuary from his site.
The Iowa Primate Learning Sanctuary is being built on a 137-acre site near the Des Moines River. Sanctuary founder Ted Townsend has said it will be a world-class research center where scientists can study ape culture, including the way apes learn and communicate.
"We're putting together a team of world-renowned scientists who have devoted their lives to primate learning," said Al Setka, primate center spokesman.
"Our mission is sanctuary, research and education. We take that very seriously, and we don't want there to be any confusion," he said.

So the rule of thumb is, if you don’t have a tail, you can probably program.

Couldn't find any references to that facility on their site, Theo. Maybe they have fixed it already?
