I wish I could say I knew more about this stuff, but I'm fascinated by some aspects of biology. Douglas Adams had a knack for describing animal traits and explaining how their biology fit hand-in-hand with their skills/bahaviour.

I'll bet ther's a biological explanation for why this Chimp fares so well, but I've no clue what it is. Very Happy

Here's a clip about the chimp concerned from today's Richard and Judy show.

I could've used that in university. Alas, medical science was 10 years too late.
