As you know, raw strength can be turned against its user.
The catch would be that chimps, as similar as they are to
us, move in different ways. In a sense you "wouldn't know
your enemy" and thus might underestimate him/her/it in
some way--which might be bad if you don't negotiate the
learning curve sufficiently. :) I keep thinking of that
scene from "Alien Nation" where Sykes knees the Newcomer
in the groin and it does nothing...

It's one of the largest universities in the world--the NB
stands for "New Brunswick" (New Jersey) to differentiate
from "Newark" or "Camden". This is the tippy top of the
RU mountain. (It's been more of a dungheap the way they've
been making decisions lately, but that's administratia for

I'm still always surprised when someone hasn't heard of
this place, but then again, I know people who occasionally
go "Queen's? In Kingston? Isn't that in Jamaica...?" If
you don't have the geographical name, nobody knows it's
around. :(
