It appears that story about Cheeta the Chimp from those MGM Tarzan movies being alive and well, and being the oldest chimpanzee to ever draw a breath is a damned dirty HOAX!
CHEETA'S BEEN DEAD SINCE 1991!!!!

What next? Elvis isn't alive on an island somewhere playing pinochle with John F. Kennedy?
I guess he made a monkey out of us all in the end.
I think you read that article too fast. Cheetah didn't die in 1991, he just isn't the chimp from the Tarzan (which actually was multiple chimps). He's also not as old as they claim he is.
I'm disappointed by this too because theses guy perpetrated a big fraud on the public.

No, no. no! Didn't any of us see "Bubba Ho-tep?" Elvis and Jack are in an east Texas nursing home and battling an evil Egyptian entity.
