Although this comes to us via Lowering the Bar, which summarized as follows:
According to the report, which unsurprisingly involves Florida, Eli the chimp was in a Sarasota courtroom today because he is, yes, at the center of a custody battle between a man from Missouri who says Eli was born on his chimp farm and a Sarasota woman who claims he is really from California. (In other news, there is apparently a chimp farm somewhere in Missouri.) Today’s hearing reportedly had to do with a DNA test that may settle the question.
If you’re pressed for time, the LtB post is better than the original news article.

PS: ‘Chimp farm?’ That the sort of business venture that can end… poorly.
TotalFARK is my guilty pleasure. But, the Florida tag overshadows whether it is Obvious, Dumbass, Amusing, etc., but, always good for a laugh.
I meant to add that after Scott Brown’s win, loads of former Obamanots suddenly became *Independent*. Funny how that happens.
