Dalex64 Member since: Mar 8, 2014 Threads: 3 Posts: 3687 | I read an amusing story about Koko. Apparently she damaged or destroyed a sink in her enclosure. When asked what happened, she said the kitten did it! "Everyone is entitled to his own opinion, but not to his own facts." Daniel Patrick Moynihan |

I think the story got embellished over the last few decades. Originally it was reported that Koko blamed a young woman. Koko met Mr Rogers 20 years ago. |
