david rigby Posted July 17, 2003 Posted July 17, 2003 Well no wonder. The study focused on New Caledonian crows, much smarter than Old Caledonian crows. I'm a retirement actuary. Nothing about my comments is intended or should be construed as investment, tax, legal or accounting advice. Occasionally, but not all the time, it might be reasonable to interpret my comments as actuarial or consulting advice.
