Re docile Gorillas, I think Geoff based his metaphor on the old story,

Q: What does an 800 pound gorilla eat?
A: Whatever he wants.

True story:

The wife of a friend of mine volunteered to work on one of the "talking gorilla" projects. She and her peers were used to do admin stuff and mail out requests for donations, but they all got to "meet" the famous gorilla. They had a male in training, and one of the volunteer ladies made the mistake of putting her hand through the bars and trying to pet it. He thought her brightly colored fingernails looked tasty so he... well, you get the idea.

Don't underestimate the mayhem potential of a Gorilla, Lynn. They don't know their own strength, and can accidentally injure those who come in contact with them. The GSM gang should keep that in mind.
