So, squirrels plan to eat buried nuts during the winter.

If a chimp can plan an attack, then a chimp can write a stimulus bill.

I saw this story on the news last night and LMAO. They said that this chimp, calmly and cooly, collected these rocks, stacked them neatly in a pile, and waited ...

Greatness.

There’s a homeless cat who frequently sits under my bird feeder. I suppose he picks that spot randomly every morning. Could’t be he plans ahead. Nah.

I wonder what the squirrels in the back yard are doing with those acorns?

A mouse got into the house and made a pile of stolen nuts in an old shoe.

Do birds build nests in anticipation of something?

Does pig manure smell Senator Harkin?

How much did this study cost?

Will the collective IQ of congress ever rise above room temperature? Does the German zoo have an earmark?

"There has been scant evidence in previous research that animals can plan for future events."

My dear departed Border Collie used to stock up his milk bones. I'd find them hidden in shoes in the closet. Everytime, I went to the closet, he'd sit behind me and watch to make sure I didn't discover his treasure trove. That indicates to me he was "planning for future events", woodntcha think?

Really? Squirrels (and other animals) store food for the winter. Bears eat a bunch to put on a lot of weight in preparation for hybernation. I am not surprised that chimps could do this.

Just a few scientists desperate to “prove” that monkeys are really just as smart as humans.

Kramer: Alright, you know I’m supposed to go on this special tour today with
George’s girlfriend.

Jerry: At the zoo?

Kramer: Yeah, but before I met up with her, I stopped to look at the monkeys,
when all of a sudden I am hit in the face with a banana peel. I turn and look
and there is this monkey really laughing it up. Then someone tells me that he
did it. Well, I pick up the banana peel and I wait for that monkey to turn
around. And then I *whap* let him have it.

Jerry: Kramer, you threw a banana peel at a monkey?

Kramer: Well, he started it!

Jerry: It’s a monkey, Kramer!

Kramer: Well, he pushed my buttons, I couldn’t help it, Jerry.
