Thanks Kat, Greg, and Baldrick (no relation).

Quote of the Day:

A vampire, or a victim
It depends on who’s around

  1. Dumb & Dumber: Chimpanzees have outscored university students
    That study is completely biased.

    Let’s put those dirty apes on a diet of Beer for the next couple of years (just like their human counterparts do during their college years), and THEN we’ll see how well they perform! 😉

    “My child is smart as a monkey!”… mmm nope, I don’t think it’s catchy.

    1. Chimps
      I’ve a suspicion they’re quicker than us because they experience things more holistically than we do. Humans learnt to concentrate on the specific. Hence, we’d take in each number at a time and try to remember its place amongst the rest.
      Thinking holistically, animals would just see an inter-related pattern, with none of the mentation involved in human concentration.

      Reality, like time, is relative to the chimp

      1. that makes sense
        When you’re in the jungle you have to look into the BIG picture, since everything is interrelated.

        The ability of humans of dividing problems into smaller elements so they can be focused on is both an advantage and a curse, maybe we should find ways to train our minds so we can appreciate things holistically when its appropiate.

        That, or let the apes take over the world 🙂

          Have you looked at some western politicians lately? 🙂
