Ok Explain

[weecalf]

Ok explain ,researchers have found out chimps can cook .Good luck to them trying to figure out this microwave in the kitchen

[-Talbot-]

They prefer to use the traditional methods, such as the Grilla

I've suspected for some time that a chimp could cook better than me.

The research concluded chimps prefer cooked food -not that they could cook

I think they have found out they have the mental capability to cook, not that they have learnt. They may be able to drag something into your bonfire and drag it out again after if they can overcome their fear of flames.

Seems to have taken 7 years for that News to hit our TV's according to the date on that ^^ Link

[Retrochic]

yes Baldric,which is why its much better to read scientific articles rather than the 'popular press' who tend to 'drag up' well known stories on slow days. A more current one for you -like yesterday ;-)

Sorry Baldric you've lost me off -not sure if you are agreeing with me or correcting me. As the Op did not post a link I can hardly discuss which article it referred to, nor the integrity or C.V. of the writer

[Retrochic]
