Alans multihead rant!..l can see our old house from here!
In another qi short, Catherine offered the phrase shagging the dog, which shocked Stephen, but it's probably a common phrase. In the US Midwest (Chicago) shagging was used in baseball to mean run as fast as you can after the ball. Fu**ing, the dog, screwing the pooch meant that a person or crew wasn't complete their assignment, or were going very slow, or even not completing a job, which would result in a future problem.

Funny enough, the ability to count is actually a /cultural/ adaptation. Not an innate ability or an automatic one. I took an intensely in depth class on culture&cognition and essentially, without the formation of a culture who needed numbers, we really cant count very high or keep track of much at all. It's more complex than I can explain here, but there are plenty of cultures that still have no system of counting past any units of ten . They just visually have rough estimates, but without the actual introduction of units representing each number there is only so far adaptations and cultures can go. Hence, our advancements lolll

4:18 perfect Kermit impression
I think the sperm whale at 236db would be louder given that db is on a log scale. though the pistol shrimp at 220 db which would be about 1/1000th of the volume (compared to 250db), might be louder for the size anyway, both can kill you through the sheer volume. (200db can kill) a guy put his hand in front of him to signal a whale to stop and his hand was paralyzed for 4 hours, and that's probably just on communication volume (which is around 180-190db), not stunning/killing. that's basically like putting your hand in a microwave. for comparison, sound level wise that's like standing on the launchpad next to a rocket.

The thing about frogs saying 'ribbit' reminds me of the old corny joke: "How do you know when there are frogs in knee-deep water?" "I dunno. How do you know?" "You can hear them saying, 'Knee-deep. Knee-deep. Knee-deep'." Don't blame me. You didn't have to read this comment. And, honestly, if you didn't stop once you got to "old corny joke," there's no one to blame but yourself. ;-)

Stupid jokes like what's pink and fluffy? Pink fluff... Stuff like that tickles my funnybone as much as Gervais stuff or Chapelle, Rogan, Pryor, Bill Hicks.

@nathanthom8176

You are probably not being serious but one thing that not many animals have (include our primate cousins) is visual self recognition (i.e. Cannot tell that their reflection is their own and not another animal). Counting is about as common as object permanence in animals which makes sense as they are somewhat related; Sandy's duck example isn't an issue of counting for the duck but of the ducks lack of object permanence.
