Is that a joke report?

for starters, there is nothing more stupid than teaching this to a happy uncaring being... I wouldn't have stood in the room with the gorilla once he understood that.

Second... rabbits... yeah that can only be a joke report...

Interacting with animals is bad, it makes you wanna be vegetarian... then again they taste so good :-x, there's a middle point one can reach though... eat only things you have not named... well besides the cattle named beefsteak and roastbeef as identifiers :-p

yes, the onion is a fairly well known "joke" new source originally out of madision wisconsin (roots as a joke news paper).

my personal favorite headline, "Special Olymics Tee-Ball Stand Pitches Perfect Game".

I once tried to convince my friend that the onion was the most unbiased and reliable news source he would ever find... he was reading a story about a guy who attached hundreds of ballons to a lawn chair and floated over the ocean

Did it work?

I saw a pic of the face of a woman after a chimp had it'sway with her. If a chimp could do something like that, you can bet a gorilla is much worse. I love animals, I just don't want them near me. They creep me out. Same for children.

Now it is only a matter of time till they find religion.



Getting an XBOX One for me is like being in a bad relationship but staying together because we have kids. XBone we have 20000+ achievement points, 2+ years of XBL Gold and 20000+ MS points. I think its best we stay together if only for the MS points.

Nintendo Treehouse is what happens when a publisher is confident and proud of its games and doesn't need to show CGI lies for five minutes.

Next up? Teaching them santa claus doesn't exist and making them get jobs.

Edit: Oh the onion, only read the title because that's EXACTLY something scientists actually would do.

I know, i was fooled too. It doesn't seem too far out there that you could teach some higher apes about the concept of death. Obviously all animals understand danger, but do they understand its final end?

That's the question, current other animal intellegence seems to be right at that level of little kid where death is sorta undertstood, but it's permanence isn't.

So it's an interesting question for sure.
