Chimpanzees are on a par with the intelligence of a five year old child? That right there sounds fishy. I could write my name when I was 5. You show me a chimp that can write its name, and I'll show you a dwarf in a monkey costume.

My father bought an LP player 30 years ago, which today still plays records as well as the day it was bought.
I would like to know if, in 30 years' time, the authentication servers required to make these Blu-Ray players work will still be up and running.
We're not nearly as good at that sort of thing as we all like to think. How are we doing so far in our efforts to destroy certain diseases?

Or pests, like the mosquito, or rat? Nah, small fast-breeding creatures own us every time.

For your own safety, never EVER incorrectly finger a pirate woman!

Isolating the reverse power couplings also often helps.
Oh man, are you serious? Where can a Scotsman in Montreal get one of these cards?
