What do you think?

I did some research today. There are papers published by the University of Stanford which look at the 'possibility' that animals have consciousness. In another report forwarded by Donald R. Griffin, there are documented and observed actions by various animals which has left the author suggesting "the fact that animals are capable of such versatility has led to a subtle shift on the part of some scientists concerned with animal behavior".

But the real question remains, do animals talk, and if they do, what do they talk about?
