She doesn't claim to be the first cloned human and her name isn't Raelian Brigitte. Brigitte is her lastname and Raelean's are the cultist group she belongs to along with the other guy that has been showing up on TV (the millionaire who wears space suits from the TV show My Favorite Martian).
He (Volhalian or something) was a race car driver and was compelled one day to drive to a volcano where a 4 foot tall green alian came out of a flying saucer and told him that he (raelian) was the brother of jesus and his name was Rael. The race of people is the "Elholeme" or whatever (Hebrew word).
He and this woman "scientist" founded a sex cult based on the Raelian crap and every few years they come out with some crazy thing to get attention in the news which draws even more idiots into their cult.
I'm just shocked that all the news outlets are actually giving these people air play. That is really sad. Back in the day, it would have been dumped on the news room floor as "bullshit". I guess that's just sad commentary on today's world. I bet they'd even given Marshall Applewhite fair airtime if he were alive today.
That would be the kea.
The kea is pretty dam smart, but is there an objective scientific test for intelligence which would let us rank species? I'm pretty sure that their isn't.
