I chose G.Man as I am a big fan of the Half Life series of PC games...

G.Man is a character not unlike Marlboro Man from the X-Files in the half life series...

i chose GorillaGal because this was me in 1999, and it lasted until 2001.

sorry the image is so big, i don't know how to make it smaller.

i met the woman who had raised the baby gorillas for the bronx zoo in 1999. this was a dream come true for me as i have always loved the great apes, and it has been a dream to have any kind of hands on experience with them. the bronx zoo opened a new gorilla exhibit around that time, and with that came a new theory of letting the gorillas raise thier own children. most of the adult gorillas in the bronx zoo were captured as babies in the wild, so it was thought they didn't have parenting skills. besides this, gorillas are so endangered, they felt it was wiser to hand raise the babies to assure they made it to adult hood. in 2001, they retird the woman (my friend) who was the surrogate mom to over 30 gorillas. she passed away 2 years ago.
i helped her with her last 6 babies. this was one of the best experiences of my life. they are incredible animals, very intelligent.
