Who names a chimp Travis?

Sad and strange story about a Chimp attack in CT..

"The Connecticut woman viciously attacked by a 200-pound chimp who inexplicably went bananas remains in critical condition this afternoon and faces "life-changing, if not life-threatening injuries" to her face and hands, officials said.

The chimpanzee, named Travis, was shot dead by police in Stamford after the violent rampage Monday left a friend of its owner badly mauled."

How proud do you think the writer of this NY Post story was of himself for using the word "bananas" in such a clever play on words?
I wonder if they ever found this chimp.
Note:
I would have named him Harry (spelled "Hairy").  The writer above is not the only one who can throw out a decent pun.

    Why don't you just give it up, Su? My grandma is a better blogger than you and she's still using a typewriter. Maybe you should change the name to "Mari's Monthly Musings."

      No income is generated..

      I have a full time job and I go to school full time so my blogging has suffered to say the least.

      Not to mention, I get 10 hits a weeks, so you'll get some content when I am good and ready to give it!!
      Beggars can't be choosers!  GO READ YOUR GRANNY'S BLOG!!  I am sure she probably has plenty of free time.
