"When faced with a busy road, large male chimps headed to the front of the pack to check the road was clear before leading females and their young across. Meanwhile, other males headed to the back of the group to bring up the rear. Often, a high-ranking male assumed the role of lollipop man by wandering on to the road and checking it for traffic until the entire pack had crossed safely."

More evidence of the Chimps making great strides to take over the world. Just a few months ago they discovered Chimps using tools in the wild. We're doomed, aren't we?

Video footage available in the link.

Only if the Americans elect another one.

Made me lol.

About time we got another dominant species on the planet.

couldn't that be just a very hairy nudist family?

Mon-keighs! Actually apes. That's really strange to see. Then again, last week I have seen a movie on how Orangutans use rafts to travel waterways (and to the dismay of the humies never return them).

Monkeys ain't stupid I'd say. Best scene in the video - right before the last three little chimps cross the road, the big one start swinging from left to right. "Hurry up, guys!". That's great!

hahahah your so witty! Comparing Bush to a monkey, that is so great and original!

I take it that your "sig" does not translate as "Wielder of Rapier Wit" then?

If they do, and I say they because I refuse to take responsibility for our current chimpanzee, I will grab my Master's degree and bail. Another educated American taking my education to another country for their benefit.

I know! If only Bush were smart enough to understand the comparison people wouldn't make it so much.

It' like when you use a hugh pictched voice to call a dog a moron and it just wags it tail.

Nope. Am Yisrael Chai. The nation of Israel lives.

I could change it if you like...?

Sorta true, as dogs respond not to the comment so much as to your angry emotion. Of course if you call it a Moron with no emotion, then yes it just stands there happily. =)

Good man! Come join us in England; goodness knows we could do with a few more intelligent people over here.

As to the article, that's plain way cool, but the vid won't show up for some reason :mad:

I think Imma stay away from Europe. If a neocon makes it in again I envision a lot of bombs blowing up there. I think I'll go to South America. No reason to nuke it. Lot's of energy resources and a low profile demand. Lots of good land...

Canada...you've got plenty of land, plenty of water, plenty of energy and tons of renewable and nuclear energy potential. Either that, or the West Coast/Texas.

Fallout. :(

The chimp never crossed the road. The road simply crossed under the chimp.

Fallout. :(

Yeah, but you've got some advantages from the direction of the wind and there's a ton of open land even if the major cities get hit.

Me? If the shit hits the fan, I'll be working to preserve as much scientific knowledge as possible so that we can keep working once the dust settles. After all, if we can retain the technology our descendents can rebuild it, hopefully in a more sustainable way than us.

The key is to keep everyone literate...that would save more than we could possibly imagine.

You'd better watch out. It could be a hot chimp disguised as a hot chick.

See Desparate Measures' post...be careful.

And keep an eye out for reincarnated Nazis...
