Gorilla is singer-songwriter James Taylor's sixth album. Released in 1975, it was more successful than Walking Man, his previous release, with two hits: "Mexico" and "How Sweet It Is (To Be Loved By You)", which rose to the top five on the Billboard charts. This would be his second-to-last release of new material for Warner Bros. Records, his last being In the Pocket. In many ways, Gorilla showcased Taylor's electric, lighter side that became evident on Walking Man. The song "Sarah Maria" is about his daughter Sally (born Sarah Maria Taylor on January 7, 1974). His wife Carly Simon is featured on "How Sweet It Is (To Be Loved By You)" originally recorded by Marvin Gaye. Jimmy Buffett covered "Mexico" on his 1995 album Barometer Soup and performed "Lighthouse" during his Salty Piece of Land tour of 2005.[1]

Gorillas (video game)

Gorillas is a video game first distributed with MS-DOS 5 and published in 1991 by IBM corporation. It is a turn-based artillery game. The game consists of two gorillas throwing explosive bananas at each other above a city skyline. The players can adjust the angle and velocity of each throw, as well as the gravitational pull of the planet. Written in QBasic, it is one of the programs included as a demonstration of that programming language. The others are Nibbles (another game), Money (a very simple financial calculator), and REMLINE (a program to remove line numbers from old BASIC programs).

  • Gorilla (advertisement)

    Gorilla is a British advertising campaign launched by Cadbury Schweppes in 2007 to promote Cadbury Dairy Milk-brand chocolate. The 90-second television and cinema advertisement, which formed the centrepiece of the £6.2 million campaign, was created and directed by Juan Cabral and starred actor Garon Michael. The campaign itself, which comprised appearances on billboards, print newspapers and magazines, television and cinema spots, event sponsorships and an internet presence, was handled by advertising agency Fallon London, with the online segment contracted out to Hyper.

    The advertisement, which first appeared on British television on 31 August 2007, has since gone on to appear in a number of other countries, including Canada, Australia, South Africa and New Zealand. It has been well received by the public – a version uploaded to video sharing website YouTube received 500,000 page views in the first week after the launch.Polling company YouGov reported that public perception of the brand had noticeably improved in the period following the launch, reversing the decline experienced in the first half of 2007.

    Saint Gral

    by: Amfortas

    Pozri na mna, s vichrom cvalam, predo mnou uz hustne noc, je cas!
    Pozri, blesky kalia moju zbran: dvojsecny, ostry mec zo Slova skuty mam,
    na kridlach burky proti burke sam...
    vpred a nikdy stat, dostihnut hrad, ten Bozi chram.
    Mas vraj cas a nevies kam ist, ach, ako vahas!
    Nasilie sa zmocni bran, Bozich bran, tak vstavaj, Ducha pros
    a sam prijmi boj o Krv a Gral!
    V dialke, tam, kde noc obtaca den a sero dusi svit je hrad!
    Na siedmich vrchoch, tam sa skryva Kral: Sam tam brani Krv a Gral.
    Krv, pre ktoru zit je maly dar.
    Krv, poslednu nadej v risi Zla...
    Slovo:
    Ked sa Artus a jeho rytieri vratili z chramu, ozvalo sa dunenie,
    sienou zablysol luc jasnejsi nez den
    a vsetkych naplnila milost Ducha Svateho.
    Potom vstupil Svaty Gral, zakryty a vzneseny
    a nesmrtelna krasa sa rozliala na ich tvarach.
    A vzdali Bohu chvalu.
    Pozri na mna, s vichrom cvalam, je uz noc, len blesky ziaria v tmach!
    Pozri: Burka zuri proti nam, pozdvihni proti nej mec, co mas:
    dvojsecnu zo Slova skutu zbran.
    On je s nami, ty a ja sme tu a s nim a vitaz bude z nas!
    Mas vraj cas a nevies kam ist, ach, ako vahas!
    Nasilie sa zmocni bran, Bozich bran, tak vstavaj, Ducha pros
