Give those apes a defense contract!

Okay, they're chimps. But the Post reports today that chimps are making weapons:

Chimpanzees living in the West African savannah have been observed fashioning deadly spears from sticks and using the tools to hunt small mammals -- the first routine production of deadly weapons ever observed in animals other than humans.

No doubt the Pentagon is down there, too, offering them a defense contract. Ain't globalization grand?
