Non-Canonical Text


"…wild animals full of monkey antics, ugly in temper and hard to manage…no orang-outang could climb a tree with more agility than they displayed. If you examine their little fingers you will find that conformation such as to afford them astonishing prehensile power, enabling them to grip an object and retain their hold. Either of them can lift his entire body by his little finger, and so swing to and fro, in the manner of a Borneo gorilla" -– A geek pamphlet (c. 1878) describing a the Wild Men of Borneo, a pair of traveled gaffed freaks (Bogdan 1990).
