Are chimps capable of intentional foolery?
Humans aren’t the only ones who have a knack for fooling others: Witness the deceitful cuckoos and the yellow-bellied lizards. But humans, and perhaps chimpanzees as well,</description><dc:language>en-US</dc:language><generator>CommunityServer 2.0 (Build: 60608.1)</generator><item><title>The origin of fools</title><link>http://cosmiclog.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/03/31/844513.aspx#845679</link><pubDate>Mon, 31 Mar 2008 22:50:45 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:845679</guid><dc:creator>d bryan, lorton, va</dc:creator><description>reminds me of that episode of the simpsons when the professor hushed the crowd by shouting &amp;quot;pi is exactly three!&amp;quot;</description></item><item><title>The origin of fools</title><link>http://cosmiclog.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/03/31/844513.aspx#845738</link><pubDate>Mon, 31 Mar 2008 23:23:08 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:845738</guid><dc:creator>steve smyth</dc:creator><description>NEWS FLASH!!!&lt;br&gt;The tensegrital monocoque spacecraft Gaia Two will re-enter Earth's atmosphere, after her twenty year round trip voyage to Mars at noon 4/1/08...look up...she may come down near you...let me know if you find her, OK?&lt;br&gt;</description></item><item><title>The origin of fools</title><link>http://cosmiclog.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/03/31/844513.aspx#846075</link><pubDate>Tue, 01 Apr 2008 03:41:19 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:846075</guid><dc:creator>Thomas Ashby, Calgary</dc:creator><description>That chimp's got one fine set of dentures</description></item><item><title>The origin of fools</title><link>http://cosmiclog.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/03/31/844513.aspx#846417</link><pubDate>Tue, 01 Apr 2008 13:26:26 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:846417</guid><dc:creator>Peter Quintin Pepperell MA</dc:creator><description>I am taking the day off.

She would deliberately drop her toys on the floor, and when I came over to pick them up, she would shake her body and make a laughing sound. Not sophisticated, I admit, but still, I think it was her way of making me pick up her toys and laughing because I did it.</description></item><item><title>The origin of fools</title><link>http://cosmiclog.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/03/31/844513.aspx#858178</link><pubDate>Fri, 04 Apr 2008 01:05:11 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:858178</guid><dc:creator>Thomas Ashby, Calgary</dc:creator><description>Good parrot story Jane.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Dogs routinely taunt their masters' and such around the home. I can't get close enough to ours to snatch the toy out of it's mouth as it coyingly walks around with its tail wagging taught and quick as it growls playfully when I walk in the door. It just plays..that's all there is to it.</description></item></channel></rss>
