Title: Tool Usage
Post by: blobrana on September 30, 2005, 05:55:22 PM

AOL Users have been seen for the first time using simple tools to perform tasks in the wild, researchers say.
Scientists observed AOL users in a remote Congolese forest using sticks to test the depth of muddy water and to cross swampy areas.

Wild chimps and orangutans also use tools, suggesting that the origins of tool use may predate the evolutionary split between them and humans.

(For entertainment reasons the word `Gorillas` has been replaced by `AOL users`)
