Chimp/Human Link

Scientists are clamoring to have Chimpanzees reclassified in the human Family. For those of you who have forgotten how to classify animals, my high school biology teacher had this word association gem to share with the class:

King
Phillip
Came
Over
For
Grape
Soda

This of course stands for:

Kingdom
Phylum
Class
Order
Family
Genus
Species

If I am off here it is only because I learned this stuff over 20 years ago and am on multiple deadlines and don't want to get sucked into a 30-minute Wikipedia time-wasting session.

Getting back to the story, some countries are looking to confer rights on chimpanzees and other primates. For some reason this story makes me think of the early days of The Planet of The Apes.
