3. I think Donkey Kong Jr. would be more to his liking.
Who knows old video games will know why.

4. DSis are very cool I don't have a XL though,I have a normal sized one
but,in a way the DSi may or may not have been that good of an idea due to the 3DS coming out next year. The 3DS will have a improved camera making the DSi obsolete from what I know.

Child Drops Video Game Into Zoo Habitat

SAN FRANCISCO --

Chris Spicuzza
snip...
The child dropped his Nintendo DS into the gorilla exhibit last week during a visit.

The gorillas below seemed to know the "finders keepers" part of the game and snapped it up.

The mama gorilla kept it away from the little ones and seemed to take to it immediately.

snip..
In the end, the boy got his game back. Witnesses said a zoo trainer lured the animal over to the side and traded the game for a shiny red apple.

8. Hmmm
The gorilla traded her newfound toy for a shiny apple.

Why does this remind me of something?
