For anyone who is interested in this sort of thing, I can recommend this book:

Next of Kin: My Conversations with Chimpanzees by Roger Fouts

Absolutely brilliant!

Facilitated communication takes many forms.

Evidence of intentionality in the painting would demand a well structured experiment.

Reminds me of AiAi in Super Monkey Ball.

Glad to see I wasn't the only one! That Super Monkey Ball game on the GameCube was just amazing.

It was all about the party games. Especially target and golf!
