I missed one pass, but close enough and the gorilla stood out like balls on a bull at the Royal Easter Show.

The gorilla did indeed stand out like a gorilla in an office lift lobby, but then I was looking for it.

I’ve an idea that I have seen this video before, and didn’t notice the gorilla, not sure.

I didn’t bother counting the passes.

As for the point of the article, yeah, quite likely.

And I didn’t see the gorilla in the landscape photo first up.

I imagine we want to detect alien’s we can communicate with or relate to so look for the type of signals we would send.
Signals could be everywhere but are meaningless to us as we have no context or commonality to relate them to.

Why do they always use gorillas in these things? It demonstrates an alarming degree of bias towards one particular primate who just happens to be extremely hairy and enormously powerful and who would quite happily rip your head off as soon as look at you if you happened to upset it.

You could listen out for signals that sounds like highly compressed data similar to how we send computer information or signals similar to how other more exotic type life on earth communicates

They should use something less conspicuous, like one of these.

They don’t always use gorillas in these things. I saw one on TV and missed the clown – because I was looking for a gorilla.
