How am I going to explain this to my inner child? Skepticism overwhelms any chimp instincts I have been fighting.
Posted by: lilrascal | August 28, 2007 at 03:22 PM
Definitely not true. We are much, much less.

I refer to the Masters and Johnson, Dr. Phil, Dr. Ruth findings on this matter. Like they all said, "whatever will be, will be....Supercalifragilisticexpealidoucious."

Sneaks up and steals lilrascal's extraneous u for superlative spelling purposes.

It seems like there was a recent example of how humans often lack empathy, guilt and compassion. Maybe we're not as developed as the author seems to think.

pssst...cj - those are your Von Economo MORons.

I disagree with this statement:
I only ever have one goal in mind!
Posted by: Sheddy | August 28, 2007 at 03:43 PM
The word most misspelled in internet history. Quiet. Or Quite. Be Quite. Your are quite quiet today.
Posted by: lilrascal | August 28, 2007 at 03:43 PM
Three goals for me, Sheddy... to paraphrase our illustrious blog, Life, Liberty and the pursuit of more beer.
Posted by: Bãrön vønKlýff | August 28, 2007 at 03:46 PM
me too, sheddy, and mine has nothing to do with eating. well, food, anyway.

What is it called when your fingers will not type what you are thinking? Besides being a distracted, reformed obsessive-compulsive disorder poster boy? I notice I can't write either lately? I'm either almost dead or can't spell either either.
Posted by: lilrascal | August 28, 2007 at 03:47 PM
I thought that teh most misspelled word in internet history was teh.
Posted by: Bãrön vønKlýff | August 28, 2007 at 03:48 PM
oh my, judi!!
(btw, how was "Sublime"???)
Posted by: Cuban @ss | August 28, 2007 at 03:49 PM
teh is common blog language. Being quite is when you don't have much to say.
Posted by: lilrascal | August 28, 2007 at 03:50 PM
Well. Perhaps morons are better than lessons.
lilrascal: please be quite... something.

But I thought you had a cute Cuban @sset.

So, a difference is the von Economo cells, which cause "social emotions such as empathy, guilt and embarrassment."
This means Mark Twain was right: Man is the only animal that blushes, or needs to.
Posted by: M. Twain | August 28, 2007 at 04:59 PM
the US Congress - the Senate in particular- clearly has a deficit of von Economo neurons ..... I was was wondering what made them the most exclusive club in the world ...no von Economo neurons and still able to dress for black tie affairs
Posted by: Solid Citizen | August 28, 2007 at 08:41 PM
So ... as to typos ... or "brain lapses" ... why does the writer (?) spell "animal(s)" as "an mals" or "an mal" ... TWICE in the same story?
A clear case of a dearth (not death) of "i"s ... ?

"animal actions usually center on narrow objectives like food or sex"
This sounds like my dear husband...and their point is?
