Ok internets, I'm asking one doozy of a question, but I believe in your power. Please settle a year long argument between my BF and I. <br> <br> About a year ago, maybe in early June of 2008 on a weekend afternoon, I was driving to an art exhibit in downtown Arlington, VA. I spied on the sidewalk, a young african-american girl of 10-12 years holding, what I believe was a live orangutang. The orangutang was facing the girl, legs around her waist, and arms over her shoulders. It was wearing a diaper, and appeared to be heavy in the little girl's arms. She was with other older boys that could have been her brothers and family. I believe she was wearing light colored shorts, flip flops and ribbons in her hair. I wish I had pulled over, but alas did not. I only saw this for a moment. The orangutang didn't move, in the short span of time I saw it. <br> <br> My BF who was in the passenger's seat, also saw this and does not believe it was a real orangutang. Who can blame him? It's crazy to think a little girl would have an orangutang right? He does admit that the orangutang looked very realistic, this wasn't a fuzzy stuffed animal. <br> <br> Here's what I'm looking for:<br> <br> Maybe you grew up with a zoologist/primatologist parent and frequently went for strolls with orangutans or know someone who does. Maybe you collect life sized orangutang dolls, dress them in diapers, and can attest to their realism? Perhaps you know of a movie filmed in Arlington about a little girl and her orangutang? <br> <br> Anything, even wild speculation is welcomed. tag:ask.metafilter.com,2009:site.130512 Tue, 18 Aug 2009 10:34:13 -0800 arlington arlingtonva dolls orangutang primatology wtf fontophilic http://ask.metafilter.com/101015/Trusted%2Dcollision%2Drepair%2Dshop%2Din%2DArlington%2DVA Arlington, VA filter: My wife had a parking lot mishap when a lamp post jumped out in front of her car; now we need to find a good collision repair place.
