Monkey Monday: First impressions count. Ask any chimp…

March 31, 2008

Think first impressions are important? So do chimps. They’re more judgmental than creationists! From Science Daily: Chimpanzees make judgments about the actions and dispositions of strangers by observing others’ behavior and interactions in different situations. Specifically, chimpanzees show an ability to recognize certain behavioral traits and make assumptions about the presence or absence of these [...]

I saw an article on the most obvious issue that parents delude themselves about. Swearing. Parents (including my own) have long pretended that there is no way their potty-mouth child could possibly learn such bad language from themselves. My own father (Hi Dad!) they call “Mr. Effing”. Why? Because it was effing this and effing [...]

Raters of the Last Film

March 26, 2008

It’s good to see Indiana Jones creator and executive producer George Lucas apparently reads my site and took my advice about dealing with disappointment. From USA Today: To hear him talk, you’d think George Lucas would have preferred to call his movie Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull: Don’t Get Your Hopes [...]

Thank you for driving good teachers away

March 20, 2008

A disturbing trend of parent suing teachers is getting worse. Its bad enough we don’t pay our teachers nearly enough but now parents are driving the good ones, who look past the salary, away from teaching. Parents refuse to accept that their precious little snowflake may not be as brilliant as they think they are. [...]

Do NOT listen to Jim Cramer…he's obviously mad!

March 18, 2008

Ever watch Jim Cramer’s show Mad Money? I have on occasion and every time I watch him, he says something stupid and I turn him off. My problem with him is that people actually listen to him. And like the weatherman, he has no accountability if he is wrong. Ho-hum, back to pick more bad stocks. Finally, [...]

From Punkeys: Apparently National Geographic is the Al-Jazerra of the primate world. It’s quite obvious that they are in the monkeys’ pockets and spread their propaganda. Like tonight’s latest campaign of misinformation, Human Ape, which airs tonight at 8et/7c. Here a chimp shows that it can recognize its own reflection: Being able to recognize yourself [...]
