My homepage is CNN.com, and when I turned on my internet this morning, I saw that headline lurking in a position of some prominence. Who, I thought to myself, would ever click on that link? My general interest in colonoscopies is pretty much nil, and adding a large primate to the equation still doesn't quite pique my interest. And why, why on earth were there those single quotation marks around 'doing well?' What could that possibly be implying? So, of course, in the spirit of scientific inquiry I clicked on the story.
The good news, at least, is that Gigi seems to be doing well, and has recovered from her experience. She was put under anesthesia for the procedure, which was undertaken because she "was having digestive problems." The story was mysteriously silent, sadly, on why this was a newsworthy event. I'm sure that such procedures are far from common, but still.... it was the second story on CNN.com under the 'US News' heading. Come on.

It seems pretty awesome to me. Maybe its because I have an intimate relationship with large primates. I am a banana, after all.
Suddenly the user-name "ilikebananafudge" takes on a whole new meaning....
