The Geekiest Animals in History

Flipper writes "CNET has compiled a list of the geekiest animals throughout history. The entries include such peculiar characters as Ham The Astrochimp (the first chimp in space), Schrödinger's Cat (used to demonstrate quantum superposition) and Hans, a horse who could apparently do complex mathematics and read words. The classics are there too, Pavlov's dogs get a well-deserved mention, as does Dolly The Sheep. What sounds like a pretty bizarre list is actually strangely interesting — some of these animals are seriously geeky."

Dogs are digusting, and so are their owners.

Dogs are digusting, and so are their owners. I'm not sure IT people are qualified to make such judgments. I'll bet most chicks would rather smooch a dog than a computer geek.

I also think Laika has more business in this list than Pavlov's dogs or Ham. Peabody beats everyone on the list, hands down.
