Scientists confirm that animals have personalities

Post by Dinyar »

An article in today's Wall Street Journal says that scientists have finally confirmed that animals ranging from chimps to fish do in fact have individual personalities. All I can say is that more scientists should be fish keepers.

LOL, does this stuff ever make you wonder if these people weren't allowed to have a dog as kids or something?

The real question is... If Helen Keller were walking in the woods alone, and there was no one around to hear, would she make any noise if she fell?

Is that a trick question? I'd have thought the answer to that was yes....at least a very loud and satisfying thud.

In Shane's version of the story, the poor lady is blind and DEAF. But let's talk about something else, shall we? Beating up on dumb men is OK by me, but I draw the line at beating up on blind women.

I never said the pope was dumb! just old, stubborn, and very likely incontinent...

If you don't know a few men in that description personally you're cheating yourself though... ;)
