Do you think there may be some planets where several species (e.g., dolphins, elephants, primates) all have advanced civilizations that compete with each other?

Are you suggesting that there's a planet of Shakespeare-writing monkeys out there? What would Charlton Heston make of that?

On that planet would the famous line from MacBeth be "Out damn dirty ape" instead of "Out damned spot"?

Is it possible that there is an ape named Spot?

Doesn't everyone have a little ape inside them, even those who are not grapes?

If we were descended from grapes instead of ape, would we whine more?

Were your parents wise old grapes? Or were they just plain raisins?
