ok so really profound thought curtiousy of Mr. Normans class
human beings are time... ok that implies that we create time. So, we are the only species that think of time or notice it passing. That we are the only ones that time is able to speak through. We have such solid memories of our past and have great (some of us anyways) short term memory. Though other animals have memory, ours are more profound. We remember events in our lives somewhat clearly and use those memories to help us in the future. Course thats kinda what Mr. Norman said
i tend to somewhat dissagree. Ok so sure we named time... but i think other species on our planet can persieve time and think ahead into the future. Grant it the animals dont exactly call it the future or time but they do have some understanding of the consept. For an example, squirrels and chipmunks collect nuts in the summer or fall or whenever they are in season for the perpous of having them during the winter. that implies that squirrels/chipmunks understand that winter is coming and are preparing for it. Also, animals like bears hibernate during the winter... every year... so i would assume that bears would remember time and notice its passing and whatnot...
ok i dont think im making any sense.. that could be because i had a pint of ice cream... and am now on my sugar low... that and its also 11:30 at night! so night all.. and if i dont make any sense... then, i dk, ur dumber than a rock, which implies ur smarter than me... hahaha jk!
