This photo is on Yahoo! News right now, with this as the first part of the caption: "Yuhui, a young orangutan, practises weightlifting in ChongQing Safari Park in southwest China's Chongqing Municipality, September 26, 2005. [...]"
Frankly, I don't believe that barbell is that heavy. And second, I really don't think that's an orangutan, unless young orangutans start out as chimpanzees.
Of course, the photo IS from Reuters, so I suppose facts really shouldn't stand in the way of getting to the truth of the matter--i.e., George Bush's refusal to comply with the Kyoto protocols is causing monkeys in China to gain superhuman strength.
And yes, this is just an excuse to have a monkey picture.
