Happy Halloween from the LearningZen team! To my great disappointment, I don’t see any Luke Skywalkers, Captain Kirks, or R2D2’s rolling around the office today. I did my part by bringing in pumpkin seeds to share with the rest of my team, yet ended up eating the entire container myself. I’m pretty sure I ate enough to grow a small pumpkin inside of me.
Today as I was going through possible costume ideas for myself, I got to thinking; what would LearningZen.com be for Halloween? I knew immediately that it would be an animal, and it would have to be a smart one. My first thought was Elephants. Besides amazing us by painting pictures with their trunks, elephants also have an exceptional memory that allows them to actually distinguish their friends from their enemies. My next thought was a Monkey. Not are they one of the only animals capable of recognizing themselves in a mirror, but we feel they are capable enough to be sent into outer space! Still…it was too cliché.
Then as I was finally resigning the idea as silly and fruitless, it came to me; a sheep. Yes, I am referring those fluffy little animal’s best know lending their wool for comfortable socks and ponchos. Did you know we greatly underestimate sheep? British scientists actually conducted several years of research that concluded sheep actually have incredible memory and the ability to distinguish the between the faces of both other animals and humans without a mistake. The scientists even believe that their intellectual abilities are much closer to humans than we once thought!
So from the team at LearningZen.com and the LearningZen.com sheep…have a safe and fun Halloween!
