What makes us different from other animals is the fact that we can go into debt up to our eyeballs.

SAT's and GPA's. Except for the misguided few who try to apply IQ tests to animals.

Applying IQ tests to animals are fun - to see how many homo sapien's can match them!

that chimp that can use sign language > jeff dahmer

my cat > jeff dahmer

a bear that kills people > jeff dahmer

ants > jeff dahmer Smile

loving pets > a person in a vegetable state that will absolutely never come out of it, can feel nothing, and is not dreaming

BTW, it should be clear that some PEOPLE are better than other people.

Nobody's mentioned yet that we're the only animals that pretty much took over the whole planet? Any other animals going about building cities, destroying other species & habitats, you know, all that stuff? Certainly not on OUR scale.

On a serious note, it's perfectly obvious to me, at least, that some animals are better than some people because they wouldn't be caught dead in golf clothes.

I think he's right. But that's what you get when you google Velvet Ant.

Ok. In that case it's a cool wasp Smile

All the wasps we have in New Hampshire are nasty brown and black with a bad attitude and a tendency to sting first and ask questions later.
