lol, photographic input into RAM, seriously 'random' access memory!

that is the only thing we have over the other animals

please use the quote function

I mean use the quote function to include the statement you are refering too

i did

i am talking about humur the ability to laugh at ourselves


a chimp can laugh but only if a human tickles it becouse chimps don't tickle each other at least i don't think they do

Man, can you guys slow down a bit.

Ill contribute in a number of posts.

These are my opinions on the top of the page.
1) Global Warming isnt happening anymore, that is so like last year. Havent you heard of global cooling?   
2) Nothing can be called an ice age, without a certain precent of the Earth water freezing again, and that isnt what its doing.
3) The other planets are warming up, because in the past five years the sun has experienced something like .2% more activity. Which makes a BIG differance, of course.

i believe it is 50% of all fresh water is frozen right now

and it was geoligists that i coped from that said we were still in an ice age becouse of the mountain glaciers

I will restate myself as i think i have done. C

Chimps are very intelligent, they are almost as intelligent as we are except for one little thing. They dont have a strong emotional drive, or a large enough frontal lobe to access the amount of computations we preform every second. Plus, they have a large whatitcalled that makes their brains more prone to emotional and istinctual rulings. The arguement of whether or not they 'laugh' is the same as the arguement of whether or not they have emotions, or speach.

But, let me tell of an interesting experiment.

Two trees were place on two opposite sides of a building, inside concrete rooms. They were hoocked up to that machine that meassures brain or emotional activity. Now, right by one of the trees in another room stood a boiling pot. While the other tree was left competly isolated. The researcher dumped a bunch of live shrimp into the pot, which almost instantly killed them. At the very moment, the tree that was nearest to the shrimp had brain activity measuring on very abnormal levels. The test was tried three times, each time the same eratic behavior occured. Its almost as if the trees could sense the death of other things.

What percentage of 'ALL' water is frozen?

I didn't know chimps could laugh?

I guess most animals that are capable of basic emotions could also be 'capable' of feeling amused. The only problem is that they don't have a high enough level of self awareness to recognise somthing as being funny.

In fact, water makes up a large part of most living things. Water covers more than two-thirds of the Earth. About 70 percent of the human body is water. And more than 70 percent of a tree is made up of -- you guessed it -- water!

The water on the Earth's surface is mainly found in oceans (more than 97 percent) and frozen polar ice caps and glaciers (about 2 percent). Less than one percent of all the surface water on Earth is fresh water that people can drink.

as i said the only true thing that we have over the other animals is humor

as for brain power chimps are as smart as they need to be to be chimps

cats are as smart as they need to be to be cats

Ever since the Pre-Cambrian (600 million years ago), ice ages have occurred at widely spaced intervals of geologic time - approximately 200 million years - lasting for millions, or even tens of millions of years. For the Cenozoic period, which began about 70 million years ago and continues today, evidence derived from marine sediments provide a detailed, and fairly continuous, record for climate change. This record indicates decreasing deep-water temperature, along with the build-up of continental ice sheets. Much of this deep-water cooling occurred in three major steps about 36, 15 and 3 million years ago - the most recent of which continues today. During the present ice age, glaciers have advanced and retreated over 20 times, often blanketing North America with ice. Our climate today is actually a warm interval between these many periods of glaciation. The most recent period of glaciation, which many people think of as the "Ice Age", was at its height approximately 20,000 years ago.

Although the exact causes for ice ages, and the glacial cycles within them, have not been proven, they are most likely the result of a complicated dynamic interaction between such things as solar output, distance of the Earth from the sun, position and height of the continents, ocean circulation, and the composition of the atmosphere.


Climatic Cooling from 60 million years ago to present day
Between 52 and 57 million years ago, the Earth was relatively warm. Tropical conditions actually extended all the way into the mid-latitudes (around northern Spain or the central United States for example), polar regions experienced temperate climates, and the difference in temperature between the equator and pole was much smaller than it is today. Indeed it was so warm that trees grew in both the Arctic and Antarctic, and alligators lived in Ellesmere Island at 78 degrees North.

But this warm period, called the Eocene, was followed by a long cooling trend. Between 52 and 36 million years ago, ice caps developed in East Antarctica, reaching down to sea level in some places. Close to Antarctica, the temperature of the water near the surface dropped to between 5 and 8 degrees Celsius. Between 36 and 20 million years ago the earth experienced the first of three major cooling steps. At this time a continental-scale temperate ice sheet emerged in East Antarctica. Meanwhile, in North America, the mean annual air temperature dropped by approximately 12 degrees Celsius.

No. I might believe a fresh banana tree is 70% water but definately not a giant sequia tree.
