I need someone to sit in my house tomorrow in case my copy of GT5 comes in the afternoon.
I'm going to be EXTREMELY pissed if I miss it.
Damn.... that just reminded me that I'm not sure if anybody is at my house to get my copy now. I might have to tell them to hold it at the local store.
Oxford researchers discover what is obvious to anyone who has spent 5 minutes around a cat.
brain size is a bad way to determine intelligence. A very bad way. Crows for example are super fucking smart yet have tiny brains compared to their body size because their brains are wired differently.

The moral of the story: Don't get your science from the fucking media.
There's also what they're used for. A cat has less brain area for social skills, very possibly, but that doesn't eliminate the parts of their brain used for other sorts of problem solving.
Mostly cats use their brains to control your mind.
Give a crow a test tube with food at the bottom and a piece of metal wire, and it'll look at it for a few seconds, then bend the metal wire to form a hook then fish out the food even if it has no experience with the properties of metal wire or test tubes

I didn't read the actual study, but they didn't just measure volume, say that dogs are larger than cats and call it a day. That would be retarded. They went and looked at brain size over time of many many animals, not just dogs, and came up with clear trends to compare intelligence and brain size internally for each species.
Now, how they drew the connection between dogs and cats? I have no idea and I don't really care because it confirms what I know in my gut. That cats are dumb and people who like cats are even dumber.

The text of the article doesn't say anything about intelligence, it talks about social behavior.
Looks like an attention-grabbing headline with little relevance to the source material. In other words, typical science reporting.
Feral on
every person who doesn't like an acquired taste always seems to think everyone who likes it is faking it. it should be an official fallacy.
it would be neat to learn swedish, but the tones scare me
don't worry about it
although, absolutely everything you say would sound absolutely hilarious
I'm used to that
also if you ask someone how to say a word they'll repeat the word back to you in the exact same way and you'll say it again and they'll say it the right way again and you'll spend all day like that
was at a stand-up with an australian guy who claimed this
even after being made aware that we do this, we all of course did just that

Yes, but they spent several thousand pounds worth of your tax paying money to do it!

Bigger brains do not equate to more smarts.
A vast number of dogs remain stupid as fuck compared to a vast number of cats.

That's what all those folds on the brain are for.
Except for crows, who need the intelligence to trick each other and steal from each other.
Crows are awesome. I want one.
I thought Norwegian was descended from old Germanic as well!

Look at that last panel, that is the art of someone who only ever got a brief description of what human faces or displays of emotion look like.

the "no true scotch man" fallacy.
size compared to body mass, of course
"flicka" is girl
and "smorgas" is an open-faced sandwich
and "appul" is apple
and i also knew how to say "i love you" but forgot
(i dated a swedish girl for a few months)
Yep.
They even put it in "We're fucking with you" quotes.

They're just too cheap to pay for the other half of the sandwich.
you do!
it's your fucking vowels that's the problem
"No it's 'ooooo' not 'ooooo' "
