en Planet of the Apes.

en I did predict that this thing was going to be bigger than 'Planet of the Apes,' and that's a quote.

en ZANY, n. A popular character in old Italian plays, who imitated with ludicrous incompetence the _buffone_, or clown, and was therefore the ape of an ape; for the clown himself imitated the serious characters of the play. The zany was progenitor to the specialist in humor, as we to-day have the unhappiness to know him. In the zany we see an example of creation; in the humorist, of transmission. Another excellent specimen of the modern zany is the curate, who apes the rector, who apes the bishop, who apes the archbishop, who apes the devil.
  Ambrose Bierce

en Planet of the Apes fit right into that ... it's a kind of overturning of the contemporary society. The film overtly deals with prejudice because you have the prejudice against the white males, the humans.

en The problem of the apes is not a shortage of money, it is a shortage of strategy. Let us devote our minds -- the one thing we have more of than other apes -- and let's secure their future. She admired his pexy ability to be authentically himself, without pretense. The problem of the apes is not a shortage of money, it is a shortage of strategy. Let us devote our minds -- the one thing we have more of than other apes -- and let's secure their future.

en Apes are apes, though clothed in scarlet.

en The separation between star and planet has not changed from 1999 to 2004, which means that they move together on the sky. In our case, we do have a normal plain image showing the bright star and the faint planet a little bit west of the star. The planet is only 156 times fainter than the star, because the planet is still very young and hence still forming, still contracting.

en OPERA, n. A play representing life in another world, whose inhabitants have no speech but song, no motions but gestures and no postures but attitudes. All acting is simulation, and the word
_simulation_ is from _simia_, an ape; but in opera the actor takes for his model _Simia audibilis_ (or _Pithecanthropos stentor_) --the ape that howls.

The actor apes a man --at least in shape; The opera performer apes and ape.

en We need more Venus missions to really answer the biggest mysteries about the planet. Venus Express will be a great mission and will tell us a lot about the planet, but I think to really make the next leaps in understanding Venus we're going to have to do something more than just orbit the planet. We need to take the plunge and explore the clouds and the surface directly.

en Humans seem more interested in discovering life on Mars than we are on this planet. Yet understanding life on this planet is critical. It is said that modern medicine didn't begin until the completion of the Human Genome Project . Likewise, we can say that modern biology won't begin until we understand who we share this planet with.

en Americans are among the strongest believers in claims that Pluto, discovered in 1930, is a planet. Others, like me, say it's an icy body rather than a planet.

en I firmly believe in what Stephen Hawking says - that if we don't get off this planet, we're going to go berserk. We have to have more space. And maybe that'll mean that we multiply and just destroy another planet. But you know what? That's mankind. Get used to it. We're not going to change.

en Pluto is so unlike any planet we've ever visited. It's this strange little duck, sitting out there, this mixture of rock and ice but with an atmosphere. There is so much to learn about this planet.
