Through the Wormhole with Morgan Freeman.

Ok, I may as well get into a habit of blogging so I'll make a wee start. Recently I have been watching "Through the Wormhole with Morgan Freeman" on the Discovery Channel, not to broaden my horizons or increase my intellect on how the world started etc but rather to hear his voice narrate; it's heavenly.

 During the advert for the show he states that he "like the rest of us, has questions..." so here are my questions;

1) When a bird first hatches out of it's egg and makes that really annoying, pathetic attempt at a "tweet" (especially when they nest in your chimney and make so much noise while I'm trying to watch TV), are the adult birds able to understand that or is it just the bird version of "a go go ga ga"? So my real question is, are birds born with the innate ability to communicate or is it something they need to learn?

2) During the Easter holiday when the sun was gloriously bright, I was revising outside and a bee flew past me. For some reason the saying "Aerodynamically, the bumble bee shouldn't be able to fly, but the bumble bee doesn't know it, so it goes on flying anyway" popped into my head, so I shouted at the bee "You shouldn't be able to fly" but it flew on anyway. This lead to my next question; is it possible to train bees in the same way you train a dog? I'm not talking about people who keep beehives, but rather being able to tell a bee; "fly" and it will fly or "land" and it will land. In theory it's possible as dogs react to the way an order is said rather than what is said, as they don't understand English, so maybe bees work the same way.


3) What were the first people who tried "French Kissing" doing? Were they looking for a new way to show affection and intimacy? Or where they trying something completely different like, mouth to mouth resuscitation and then it all kicked off from there? It's kinda weird when you think about it.


There you go, a little insight to what a superior brain looks like. If you know the answers to any of the questions, leave a wee comment, or if you even read this, comment as well... I just don't want to be alone.
