Young chimp beats college students

I saw this story and just had to share ;)

Think you’re smarter than a fifth-grader? How about a 5-year-old chimp? Japanese researchers pitted young chimps against human adults in tests of short-term memory, and overall, the chimps won.

Quite interesting, don’t you think?

    I wasn’t suprised. The Chimp has won the Presidency the last two elections.

    Young chimps are reportedly also way more polite and civil than rlewis. Seriously, how come even on the funny, random non-sequitir stories you have to go out of your way to be a [redacted]?

    Undoubtly they don’t feed the monkeys “Processed” foods. They get fresh fruits and vegetables not Hot Dogs and such. Read the labels before you give it to a young growing MIND.
