I saw an odd news story that a female primate had taken over the episcopal church?????

My first thoughts were Coco the Gorilla strikes again....

Oh If she is a bishop isn't rude to call her a primate.

- I thought a primate means chimp, gorilla, etc..

Blogged a bit about her yesterday.

'Primate' is a funny word. It has two meanings: a kind of animal (us, apes, monkeys and lemurs) but also the head bishop of a church.
