I've read two online news items about this,and neither explained why she used sign language. Apparently, I read elsewhere ages ago, it's because gorilla larynxes are unable to produce speech.

I once tried using "chicken" as a password, but was told it must contain a capital so I tried "chickenkiev"
On another occasion, I tried "beefstew", but was told it wasn't stroganoff.
