So, this is really pretty cool. It's a testament to the connective power of the internet.
Remember when I posted my essay "Why Don't We Just Ask Them?" about chimpanzee religion and actually communicating with the animals themselves.
I just got an email from the guy who wrote the article, James B. Harrod. He said that he was Googling his article to see what people were saying about it, and my blog, this silly little website full of my rants and awkward jokes. He also figured out who my professor was (maybe I mentioned her in my posts? but that sounded like wizardry) and emailed her too! He found my email through LinkedIn, and maybe that's how he found my professor, maybe they know each other out in the non-interwebs world, I'm not sure.
I've been giggling to myself for a while now because I think this is pretty awesome.
He says that "so far it seems that one person in the world has read an commented on my papers online - and that is you".
Actually, I feel kind of sorry that the only person he's found who's made a response to this revolutionary set of papers is some college kid's 2 am paper. Regardless, it's still pretty cool.
