I was just kidding because of your avatar XD.

I know. Like I said, it's representative.
Wasn't there that story a little while ago about those crows in (I think) Japan who would get walnuts or another similarly hard nut and drop it on the road at traffic lights and waited for a car to crack the nut? Then they would press the button and wait for the lights to go red, collect their food and fly off into the sunset. Or something like that.

i heard about that, but i don't think they actually pressed the button to change the lights. they just waited for them to change when someone pressed it.

It wouldn't surprise me if they were. They do this, after all.

The emotional center of the brain functions as the root of thought; the motivations spawned there get analyzed by the rational (thinking) frontal and pre-frontal, which make sense of the situation and determines course of action. Our wicked developed frontal region is what gives us humans our capacity for intellectual endeavors. Chimps are second to our brains, with about 25% of our processing power (dogs = 11%, cats = 3%), so they're some pretty smart little fuckers. But, this is all secondary to the awesomeness of baboons getting drunk on naturally fermenting fruit.

So? Wasps do that. I once saw two drunk wasps fly headlong into each other at top speed.

I get angry when my bees are drunk because there not making me enough fucking honey.

Seriously, you'd be surprised, every spring the first time they leave the hive they got the left over windfall apples from the little orchard and get absolutely pissed. So much so in fact that sometimes they die or pass out. Sugars just not good enough.
