No. 292.3: EXTRA! Cousin Marriage? Do Not Disparage

     The humanzee is both scientifically possible and morally defensible.
     It is a bit of a stretch, but by no means impossible or even unlikely that a hybrid or a chimera combining a human being and a chimpanzee could be produced in a laboratory.
     If that prospect isn’t shocking enough, here is an even more controversial suggestion: Doing so would be a terrific idea.

Many consider this reprehensible,
but “The humanzee is. . .
scientifically possible 
and morally defensible.”
Though this may 
strike some as absurd,
we could call the result 
Donald J. Trump III.
(This would not be 
the only time where
someone named Trump 
had funny hair.)

Don't be put off and think this harebrained,
if you click the link you'll see Putin explained*.
