There was one really good document of baboons (and monkeys etc.) on the tv. I watched it and was stunned when they told how complicated social lives baboons have. Anyway, after a while I felt like I had seen it before. Baboon life is like from a reality show: if you wan't to get laid you have to be very friendly to all the bitches in the group and then it's a good idea to become a friend of the boss if you want to wiiiiin! Large brain isn't so bad thing either. You can actually tell how big baboon's group was from his brain (bigger brain = bigger group, because the social life is more complicated in bigger groups). And baboons aren't so different than people after all: class society. Baboons from higher classes are allowed to take food from other baboons' mouth (lowlier) if they don't have anything to eat. Looks pretty ugly. The lowlier baboons made it hard to steal from their mouth but they gave up in the end. Isn't that exactly like in any human society? It's hard not to believe in evolution.

EDIT (October 12th 2005): I'm pretty sure that the brain size of humans is the opposite. The bigger the group is the smaller are the brains of the members... Just take a look at bunch of teenage kids spending time in a mall..or in a classroom. Then separate them and their brains get suddenly bigger.

I felt very bad when I woke up this morning. I had fever. I'm already better and that's good because it's impossible for me to stay still for a second. Like a little toddler. I got these photos I took earlier in spring. The photo of our little squirrel was definitely the best one:

And this awful snail:

The squirrel is a real acrobat... And our yard is full of snails. They've taken over our garden. Yewwww.

It's soooo lovely to spend a holiday. I had a job interview on Friday. That wasn't sooo lovely. I wasn't very nervous because I'm more nervous because of the driving school. Driving is nice in theory but otherwise...huhhh.. cars are built by men and that's why cars are as complicated as men. Haha.

Yesterday we took 4-6 European Pied Flycatcher nestlings to a bird care place. They lived in our yard in a birdhouse. Their "mom" died a few days ago when she flew against the window. And the male bird fed them only one evening and then stopped. So we called to the caring place and they said we could bring them there. Well. The place's guide thought that they wouldn't survive because they would become tame but the "care person" didn't agree. She said that because there are so many of them they would keep company to each other. And anyway, they need food only ~two weeks and after that they would fly away from the nest on their own. I hope they will survive but who knows... maybe I could send an e-mail for the woman who took them after a few weeks and ask..
