    uh... this proves nothing.


    it just means that chimps are more susceptible to subliminal advertising.

    Of course they're smarter than we are. They stayed in the trees and stayed happy. Humans?... not so much.

    wasn't that same argument used in Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy?

    hang on, I'll go check...



    "For instance, on the planet earth, man had always assumed that he was more intelligent than dolphins because he had achieved so much-the wheel, New York, wars, and so on- while all the dolphins had done was muck about in the water having a good time. But conversely, the dolphins had always believed that they were far more intelligent than man -for precisely the same reasons"

    No.

    Chimps are just as stupid as we humans are.

    We moved to horrible climates, eat other animals, drink their milk and then eat them. We live in huge community's that kill other huge community's. We think something in the sky that we can't see controls everything. I guess we just stepped out of the cave and asked why? And its been downhill since:)

    Maybe you... But don't put all of us in a cave. :)

    Now go get yourself a national geographic, all things you mention chimps do too. They eat meat, they live in trees (horrible climate indeed), they have communities and fight each other for land, they kill with-in community for power, as far as sky goes, you got me there, we can think... :D

    I've seen animal planet!!!

    When chimps start playing bass, we'll all be in trouble.

    Oh I agree, the only difference I meant was we asked why, and that was the beginning to our quest!:)
