Gorillas And Vacuums...Not Such A Smart Moment.

In the town I live in there's a cleaning supplies shop and that shop used to have a gorilla in front of it to advertise vacuums. To this day I've always wondered "What does a gorilla have to do with vacuuming? It seems like sort of an odd gimmick." Seriously, If anyone understands this please explain it to me. Well about a year ago, me and my sister's boyfriend got onto the topic of that shop and it's mechanical vacuum gorilla. I said that it bothered me and it was a stupid way to advertise because gorillas have no way to vacuum nor are they related in any way. He then told me that I was stupid and gorillas totally invented vacuuming. Vacuums came from what gorillas did to clean the caves they lived in. Now I'm not usually gullible so I found it hard to believe. I mean gorillas invented the vacuum? He spent about 20 minutes getting into the details of it and I, stupidly, thought he was telling the truth. I then spent about an hour looking online
