I can also remember in about 3rd grade the Nuns took us to church to practice for the mass we were to host the next day. They said we were going to sing Joy to the World and all the kids started singing about Jeremiah the Bullfrog drinking wine. The nuns were not happy.

Saw Three Dog Night @ the Grande a while back. Do they still do the chimp shows @ the Detroit Zoo? Your post brings back memories.

Nah the liberal do-gooders ruined it 20+ years ago and replaced the Holden exhibit and amphitheater with something that is less cruel for the gorillas. The new exhibit is called the Great Apes of Harrambee.

No more silverbacks sitting in cages that look like Cody High's classrooms throwing poop at visitors.This is what it looks like now: http://www.tripadvisor.com/LocationP..._Michigan.html
