Dolphins not so smart on land
(From The Onion, but I don't think I can link directly to it. This is a copy.)
After capturing the dolphins from the ocean, Lindell and his colleagues tagged them and placed them under the intense, high-wattage lights of a moisture-proof lab. The researchers then administered an extensive battery of tests designed to measure everything from the dolphins' self-awareness to their aptitude for writing and reading comprehension.
"Dolphins have a popular reputation for being excellent communicators," Lindell said. "But our study group offered only three types of response to every question we posed: a nonsensical, labored wheezing, an earsplitting barrage of unintelligible high-pitched shrieks, and in extreme cases, a shrill, distressed scream."
Is it no longer on fire, I hope?
Well, it was only throwing off blue flames for a second or two. IT suggested we unplug it. We suggested THEY unplug it. After 20 minutes someone came but, like, he has to go home now so we're waiting for the building engineers...
Dolphins are bright. Dolphins are dumb.
The science behind the Dumb proposition seeemd specious compared to all the observed phenomena of the Bright camp.
The engineers have arrived. They turned the power back on to the office. Why does this seem like a good idea?
I'm getting annoyed. The person I think I may be having dinner with tonight hasn't gotten back to me.
Timelies all!
Happy Birthday Lyra Jane!
I'm kinda assisting kettlebell tonight. It's possible I knew this was coming in a big picture way, and it's possible that for a couple days I've known it would be today, despite not being asked until late yesterday.
Why does it take until now for me to not want to do it? I do
not
get performance anxiety.
