I will keep number five in mind. I think I can get away with that one next winter.

Thanks for these reasons, I have to use them in my collection. By the way, In Rotterdam a few weeks ago a gorilla escaped in the zoo from his "apes island" and attacked a woman who was heavily wounded so she couldn't be in time for work. Later on it appeared that she was a frequent visitor and that the gorilla was her favorite, she always smiled to him and the ape was "smiling" back but she didn't know it wasn't smiling but threatening. Experts declared in the newspapers that many women are attracted by the virile appearance of gorilla males but that the ape only wants them to join their harem and not smile to them.
