I don’t know about that being true in D.C.

That's why they don't allow Chimpanzees at the BlackJack table.

LOL! I caught that after I had already pushed the post button. Well reading it twice will help you to remember it.

Seems like I remember reading more than one post from a prison guard here on FR. My brother was also one for a few years. I am sure they would both disagree with your statement.

BTW, thanks for posting. The video at Mish’s site was really fascinating. At first I thought “I’m pretty good at memorization...I can beat ‘em!”
Then I watched the chimps “memorize” a screen of 19 numbers in 210 milliseconds. That is astonishing.

I worked with a brilliant guy once who had a memory like that. He could digest a page of information AND learn it in a blink.

[[Can You Beat a Chimpanzee in a Memory Test?]]

Sure, IF I too haD YEARS and YEARS of conditioning and training liek hte chimps had- The question shoudl be, “Are chimps able to learn and remember complex issues as fast as humans’ without any conditioning or coersions and treats as rewards when they get it right’? The answer is no- they are still dumb animals

Luckily it said some mental tasks, or the article would have had no credibility.
I don't care if a chimp can remember meaningless numbers better and faster than I. The chimp can't calculate interest payments on a loan with a calculator. I can. The chimp can't explain what PI stands for. I can.
And I don't fling $h!i+.
These people desperately want to prove that humans are just like monkeys.

I don’t think the study applies to Marxist chimps.

*And no removing of this comment. The libtards couldn’t compare Bush to a chimpanzee often enough to suit them.

People like the “Rain Man”, had/have fantastic memories. All or most of them can memorize the entire contents of a book and some can even tell you the exact page in a book where a particular sentence can be found.

Yet, that’s not what intelligence is about. Intelligence is about the processing of information, and memory is the container for the information. Even birds and bees are able to memorize patterns in their neighborhoods which assist them in finding their way around. But, they’ll never have the capability of designing the next iDevice.

So that’s how Libs can pull those bogus numbers out of their butts and fling them around so quickly.

The chimp can't explain what PI stands for. I can.

Neither can I but then the chimp and I have no need for PI.......

And FWIW, PI are round, not square.........
