If he poops on his feet, he’s a turkey vulture.

Next step: convince him that he’s an ill-advised kitty-cat. At least that’d make him a mammal.

Well, how are you fixed for eggs?

Other animals don’t voluntarily leave the earth; unless you count “Pigs in Space”.

Or the cow that jumped over the moon

Even the simplest Paleolithic knapped stone tool is light-years ahead of what any animal ever uses. There is a point at which a difference in degree becomes a difference in kind.

Birds sing but they do not compose new music. (Humpback whales however do)

I don’t like bluejay music. Mockingbirds, now that’s a lot better.

What separates humans from animals is the faculty of REASON! Although, with public school, we do seem to be losing that ability rapidly. . . .which is why the world is descending into a new dark age.

“But son, birds only twitter.”

“Humans Twitter.”

“Yes, but we also Facebook…”

There are a number of animal species that do all these things. The principal human limitation is in imagining how clueless we are about knowing what goes on inside other animals’ brains.

Maybe the distinguishing characteristic is seeking for distinguishing characteristics. Maybe not.

We have sex for fun.So do chimps, bonobos and dolphins.

Start feeding him by pre-chewing his food, Pam.

I feel the biggest thing is that we burn stuff. Look around you. Almost everything you see had something burnt to make it. Boy do we burn stuff. Not just manufacturing either. Transportation, heating, cooling and some forms of entertainment.
