OT - Planet Of The Apes?
On a 1-10 scale of really dumb things to do, this is a solid 8:

The story of governments attempting to make human-ape crosses has been around since the 1960s, attributed to Stalin's people and to the Chinese communist government in Cold War days. AFAIK, not a single document has been produced to show it was ever a serious effort. Not to say that you couldn't produce some great NFL linemen with a little gorilla DNA.....
