Human caught Chimp, put him in a cage and made him solve stupid puzzles for our amusement. Human 1 - Chimp 0

Oh so the fact that we created the test, caught a chimp, built a cage, put him in it, created video cameras to record it, then Al Gore invented the internet which we use to stream this video and we all sit around the world, click play, watch and then type comments in a language we all understand counts for nothing?

So Chimps are smarter than humans. what else is new

[torqtorqtorq]

I kind of resent the idea that if I didn't come up with the exact same solution as the chimp to a problem that has hundreds of solutions, I must be losing somehow.
