Ah, Darwin? Table for two.

Hairless ChimpSweet gentle Jesus.

Some thoughts:

  • Pay no mind to this simian’s lack of underwear, that is probably the least disturbing thing about the picture, and that fact alone will wreck you for at least 3 hours.
  • This chimpanzee has no hair.
  • He seems lost in thought.  Probably wondering if he should wear a belt.
  • It’s a chimpanzee.  WTF?
  • It’s not an ad for a razor, (I don’t think).
  • As a Flickr commenter noted, he could use some moisturizer, his elbows look a little dry.
  • Cover up his head, and it’s your creepy old Uncle whoever, or that guy in the locker room who just won’t wear a damn towel.
  • Some random Boing Boing comments:
    • That picture is one application of clown makeup away from the perfect nightmare fuel.
    • Anyone who doubts evolution needs to see this photo.
    • Great, another ape with less body hair than me.

Saw it on the Boing, had to share it immediately.  It’s the most amazing, strange, disturbing, memorable, thought provoking picture I have seen in a while.
