It's only been a few decades, I think, since we realized that Bees communicate fairly intricate information by means of complicated dances. Some scientists in the UK have recently figured out that mice leave trail markers for themselves. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/2986235.stmReckon this counts as tool usage? k

Fascinating.
WS has a quote for everything: "There are more things in Heaven and Earth than are dreamt of in your philosohies, Horatio..." (Or something reasonably close to that.)
Edit:
"There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio,
Than are dreamt of in your philosophy."
--From Hamlet, Prince of Denmark - 1601 - Act I. - Scene 5
(to be precise)

In which we discover that humans are not, as was once thought, the second most intelligent species on the Earth, but the third most.

No, no, the white mice were lightyears ahead of us. Pan-dimensional beings, in fact.
Anyway, this explains why things I put down seem to move to some other place, completely of their own volition.

Legend tells us they were the ones who set this whole computer rolling in a vain and Nimrodian attempt to figure out the answer to some question which has long since been forgotten, but whose answer now lies on the floor of a 7 by 6 cell.

Hey, the same thing happens at our house! Maybe we share a poltergeist.

I would definitely prefer little white disks to the things mice left piles of in my apartment.
