HOLY SHIT THE PLANET OF THE APES.
No, the humans will win because they will adopt the genetic techniques
for themselves and create a new breed of homo sapien.
Rob Cypher is on the forefront of this. You will be assimilated.

I don't think you should take any type of drugs.
Besides, you'll rip *his* face off if he tries to steal yours.

I'll beat that nigga's ass son. Straight up. Don't play with my emotions.
Gonna be hard to make a fist after he eats all your fingers.

RIP Misawa-san.
I used to have a handle on life, then it broke.
Light travels faster than sound. This is why some people appear bright
until you hear them speak.
A monkey motherfucker wouldn't get the chance to rip my face off if I got the
M-16 or the gold plated AK-47. I will not hesitate to blow any primate's brains
out of their skull if they threaten my life. Science and evolution tells me to
do this. I want the president to give me money so I can invent superweapons
from the future that are designed with mercy in mind. Phasers and the like.
Raw projectile weapons are not the best tools to use to always apprehend a
person as far as law enforcement goes. I will give Obama neural disruptors to
ensure the peace and encourage an environment of change. From Pittsburgh
to Chicago.
PITTSBURGH STEELERS RULE
The nine millimeter what?
he's talking bout his dick.
