playwright, poet and dub fusion dj of the Renaissance period. He has often been called
the father of modern political philosophy, political science and a human-badger hybrid called Trevor.
Chickens exhibit Machiavellian tendencies, new research shows
Chickens are just as intelligent
as many of their feathered friends, demonstrate thinking skills on par
with mammals and primates, and even exhibit Machiavellian tendencies, a
US scientist has discovered.
A new study, published in the journal Animal Cognition,
has reviewed previous research to find that, despite popular belief,
chickens are intelligent and emotional animals with individual
personalities.
That innocent chicken (Boris of Dorset) may be smarter than you think."Chickens
are behaviourally sophisticated, discriminating among individuals,
exhibiting Machiavellian-like social interactions, and learning socially
in complex ways that are similar to humans," the report revealed.
They
were found to be masters of manipulation and counter-strategies, with
males making false food calls to attract nearby females, and females
eventually ignoring those who made false alerts too often.
Author Loro Marino, a senior scientist at The Someone Project,
a venture focused on changing public perceptions of farm animals, said
that chickens exhibit logical reasoning that humans do not develop until
the age of seven.
"Unlike many other birds, chickens are
categorised as a commodity, devoid of authenticity as a real animal. But
chickens have the capacity to reason and make logical inferences. They
perceive time intervals and may be able to anticipate future events," he
said.
The farmyard bird was found to exhibit social awareness;
capable of waiting for a better food reward, and recognising their
status in the pecking order.
They also have distinct
personalities, with mother hens exhibiting different "maternal styles",
thought to influence the behaviour of their chicks, and have a complex
system of communication, consisting of a wide range of visual displays
and at least 24 different vocalisations.
Some chickens (such as Vladimir, woollongabba) were even observed to display Machiavellian tendencies.Dr
Marino said that the scientific literature on chickens has historically
been skewed by dominant perceptions of the bird as "cognitively
simple", almost exclusively focusing on their potential as a food
source.
"Chickens are misperceived as lacking most of the
psychological characteristics we recognise in other intelligent animals
and are typically thought of as possessing a low level of intelligence
compared with other animals," he said.
Many scientists think that corvids - the family of birds that includes crows, ravens, rooks and jays - may be among the most intelligent animals on earth,
based on their ability to solve problems, make tools and apparently
consider both possible future events and other individuals' states of
mind.
Meanwhile, songbirds can be trained to understand non-language aspects of human speech, a study has found. And who can forget goats? The quickly learn how to solve complex tasks and have excellent long-term memories, scientists say.
the zim currency was epically todgered by mugabes policies, with daily inflation reaching a lazy 195%
anti mugabe protesters when they rarely werent being beaten or killed
and in good news
robert mugabe is dead
may he rot in non existent hell
piece of shit
he was a leader of zanu pf
one of the major parties fighting to end racist white rule in zimbabwe
in a brutal struggle
they overthrow the old rhodesian scumbag government
and brought democracy to zimbabwe
he was a hero to many for his fight against racist filth colonialists
but when he got into power
he did whatever it took to keep it
and ending up fucking his country harder than the white fuckers
as southern rhodesia
it had been one of the richest countries in africa
with its wonderful climate for agriculture
it had been known as the bread basket of southern africa
unfortunately that had come about because the colonialist pricks
stole all the land
and farmed it in a modern productive manner
following independence
mugabe and cronies
took measures to redress the unfair land distribution
by using murderous means
and then giving the land to his mates
his 'veterans'
only some of which were veterans
and all of which belonged to his political party
thus replacing white shits with ... black shits
that caused a collapse in food production
and the economy in general
causing extreme poverty and malnutrition
as the situation got worse
and people turned against him
he persecuted the ndebele speaking minority
and he used many of the same methods as the colonial turds that preceded him
violence, intimidation, election rigging and general cuntery
he was an utter piece of shit
causing untold suffering to millions of people
which still plays out today
including in the townships of south africa
where they are treated terribly by the locals
(the thompson twins, 80s synth groovers, hairspray addicts and perhaps surprisingly, yuma fans)
yuma is a town in south western arizona
it was the ultimate resting place of alphonse
our trusty and very gringo steed
alphonse died in the evening on the highway from arizona to san diego
not a massively long time after i took a turn behind the wheel
fuck you alphonse!
(and he'd already shat himself at the border crossing at nogales
that was a classy look, the twat!)
we had to hitch in the dark
in the fucking desert
trying not to think about all the gun nutters in gringo movies
but we got a lift from a lovely bloke
all the way to yuma yuma yumust pay
after our night at hotel 498739 chain
alphonse was fetched and towed back to yuma
to a garage where lots of
tsk, tsking and air was sucked between teeth
and alphonse was pronounced dead fred
the towing cost a bomba
and the leftovers were barely enough to hire a ren'al car
to get us back to mission bleach
and that
was the price that yuma yuma yumust pay...

its true that the 70s music scene
was full of smugly self righteous stupidly side burned hippies with their fucking hammers of love
and indulgent proggers setting the controls for the heart of their oh so clever clog buttholes
which all gave way to john travoltingly lapelled disco sick
and punk rock saved our saouls etc etc
which is a good enough reason to steer clear of it
for a healthy couple of siecles
but yet!
under all that distasteful schlock
that look at me, look at me, i got an b in applied mathemathics
and nauseous preachy twattery
there was a triumvirate of magnificence
legends of cool
icons of not giving a fook
and part time doughnutters
BOWIE!
IGGY!
and
LOU FUCKING REED!
the phrase 'legend cars' doesnt get used much these days
hopefully not at all
but these particular vehicules
were light years beyond legendary...
