Once you’ve had kids, you’re immediately disqualified from all memory contests.

Where's the cage key at Kong?

I wonder how it would do against those kids that memorize pi to ad infinitum and spend hours reciting it.

[Uncle Miltie]

Yes, but does he have a 250GB Hard Drive?

We’ll be working for the chimps one day. Yawn. I hope they get cable.

Silly scientists.

That’s why humans have the yellow pages.

[Constitution Day]

Careful, scientists...

[PBRSTREETGANG]

I would like to offer a warm welcome to our new overlords.

I am suspicious of the results. This almost seems like a John Henry type of situation, where the ape was trained for one purpose, but the human can do a much greater variety of tasks.

That said, I heard somewhere that human memory sacrificed factual information for concepts. Why memorize every even number when you can memorize the concept of counting up by 2?

Professor Tetsuro Matsuzawa, the Kyoto University researcher behind both sets of experiments, said: "People still believe that humans are superior to chimpanzees in any domain of intelligence.

"That is the prejudice of the people."

Ah propaganda for the advocates of the Mediocrity Principle. Tell me when an ape can type a grammatically correct ten word sentence of its own composition and I will be impressed.

This is not new. It was posted here several weeks or months ago.
The article is pure monkey droppings.
Memory is one small capability of the mind. The ability to remember foolish nonsense is no indicator of intelligence.
I don’t give one monkey’s ass if a monkey can remember more stupid things than me!
This is just one more example of some scientists trying desperately to “prove” that human intelligence is really no better than that of animals.

Chimps are also vastly superior in plucking the arms off of people.
