Yep, when it comes to precision movements, human is better than chimp. Pure strength, chimp wins every time.

When it comes to unarmed combat ..... chimp

and at the end of that race the human is worn out, chimp could go three rounds with a cheetah.

Here's the new "FRAUD BUSTER®" (詐欺バスター) designed to handle all those Ore-ore fraud calls that granny keeps getting.

Granny can push one of the 12 buttons to play one the "fraud repulsion sounds" to deal with the "もしもし、オレオレ！" bozos that are calling.

The 12 selections of "fraud repulsion" audio (goofy Google translate) are:
"Please say the password"
"I am recording all the contents of this phone"
"I going to call the police."
"Please tell me your phone number and address"
"A customer is coming, I will hang up."
"<--Pingpong--> "Somebody is at the door: I must hang up."
<--Sound of a police siren-->
"What is my favorite food?"
<--Sound of a phone ringing-->
"Once you talk to my family, I will call you back."
<--Obnoxious foghorn noise-->
"Please stop bad and stay alive"

Or just going mental....but in either case, to use that analog soundboard requires enough mental capacity to recognize the situation...

Someone thought that floating bridges for trains crossing was a good solution on the battlefield...

I don't know how many successive bad decisions were made to reach this solution...

The moose and the cherry tree:

Not sure, if I'd be as chilled as that lady was about it, if it were my garden...

Good argument against being a vegetarian. You eat the moose or the moose eats your cabbage patch.

Rather than your cabbages being eaten by a moose, it is more often the case that they are eaten by slugs.

Now I want to see how consistent you are in your principles...

What's wrong with escargots?

What's wrong with escargots?

Those are snails, not slugs.

[Grumpy Gramps]

Same same, no?

The bane of many gardeners, slugs and snails enjoy munching on vegetation. If you've walked outside in the morning and seen the shiny trails leading to your garden, you know one of these guys was sampling your greenery. Snails and slugs have more in common than differences.
Mollusks of the Land

Slugs and snails are mollusks, the same family of creatures claiming oysters, octopus, squid and clams. There are more than 60,000 species of snails and slugs. The varieties living in the sea begin life as larvae floating about in plankton. Land and freshwater slugs and snails typically hatch from eggs.

Escargots, takoyaki, oysters, slugs; once fried and all ketchuped up, they taste all the same, no?

"Taste all the same": Nope.

A while ago when the mastodons walked North America, I used to teach a 12-day, just-a-knife/a-blanket/the-clothes-on-your-back survival course for Outward Bound.

Land snails (escargot) and fresh-water clams (like oysters but tough with a lot more parasites) taste nothing like slugs. The mollusks people commonly eat are quite chewy, but slugs are just bad slime.

If you need to eat slugs, you roast them to a crisp---they'll loose 90% of their volume---and then gnaw at the burnt slug, which tastes like bitter slime jerky. (Come to think of it, pond slime tastes much better.)

Learned something new, thanks

Yep. Pond slime cooked on a flat rock tastes much better than slugs and serves as a both a protein and vegetable.
Actually, a lot of the slimier seaweed you get served in Japan tastes the same as cooked pond slime, which is marketed as a healthy super-food, "euglena".

PS: A lot of grubs taste just fine when roasted---I've tricked Mrs. Taro and her family on the rice ranch in Shikoku into eating them.

I suppose you're talking about the larvae of コガネムシ. I can imagine that they taste good roasted, but only when they are not yet in the pupae stage, because then they have a hard shell and when you squeeze them a smelly white sticky fluid sprays out.

I put the slug on a hook and catch a fish and eat the fish

The fish does not eat my cabbages

Damn
