    Chimps beat students in cognitive skills test

    http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/7124156.stm

    Chimpanzees have an extraordinary photographic memory that is far superior to ours, research suggests.

    Young chimps outperformed university students in memory tests devised by Japanese scientists.

    Now why does that not surprise me? Question is, are the chimps on £750/day though?
