Are Chimps Cleverer Than Daily Mail Readers?
“THE disturbing question posed by the news that apes beat humans in some IQ tests – So are chimps cleverer than us?”
So asks the Mail of its . The paper then tells us: “Chimps moisten sticks to ‘fish’ for termites.
Question asked. Question answered…

I thought the daily mail was the result of leaving a dozen chimps with a typewriter.

Doea anyone else sit glued to ‘Monkey Business’ on the ‘animal planet’ channel?
I don’t know about cleverer than us but most definitely on a par! Nearly all those chimps and orangs remind me of someone I know / have known / have worked with.
Especially some of the grumpy old men in the media. No names of course……

Does anyone else sit glued to ‘Monkey Business’ on the ‘animal planet’ channel?
Yes, I acutally forced all of my uni housemates to sit through an hour of it last night when they were all waiting expectantly on the final two episodes of Heroes and yes, our primate cousins are definitely on a par with us, I actually think that many of them have more engaging personality’s than most people I know! It’s also safe to say they’d do a slightly better job at running the country, or at the very least they’d be more likeable!

Have you been to Monkey World?

Unfortunately not, I live in Northern Ireland but I’d love to go. Jim & Alison Cronin who founded Monkey World made such a difference to the lives of so many animals! I’d love to spend some time working with primates myself, they really are amazing creatures.
