Apes know a good thriller when they see one

Remember the scene in the classic movie 'Alien,' when that creepiest of creatures bursts out of John Hurt's belly as he writhes in pain? Well, according to a new study, great apes are pretty good at remembering and anticipating memorable events they've seen on-screen too -- even when they've seen the event only once.

Information like this will surely help the growth process among the sane, healthy people.

The others won't be able to grasp it, and wouldn't bother to try.
