Koko
HOWEVER, allow me to submit you this... what if, at one point in evolution (assuming evolution was the cause of our conception) we had broken apart from the tract we are associating ourselves with? What if we became higher beings, with a further driving purpose than simply to conform to instinctual drives? I believe that our simple ability to rationalize (and make appealing posts on the internet being fueled by logic and morals) and our ability to inherently depict what is right from what is wrong that has seperated us from animals.
I ask you to present to me any other creature which can do so; choose between right and wrong, or what's more, discern right from wrong (the ability we gained as a result from the forbidden apple, I believe). Yes, apes can assign certain colors to remembered objects and parrots can imitate the vibrations of our vocal cords (talk), but where is the rationalization of that?
Better not mention this to Koko (or as she likes to call herself 'Fine animal person gorilla'). She thinks she is human, or at least equal. Her Internet Chat----

Re: when your computer reproduces
I`ve sprung my comp a couple of times during the night when it was supposed to be switched off. Do you think it might be chatting up a sexy little Pentium in Venezuela?

Re: when your computer reproduces
Well, I noticed the power-on light blink rate speed up a couple of times.
Query: do you measure electronic orgasms in megabytes or milliwatts? My upload/download rates seem to have shot up lately.
