Normally they should be, but not on this forum. We take quadrupedal primates seriously.

In the old days we used to memorize everything. Somewhere along the line that aspect of education went out the window. I remember memorizing the UN Charter. And it had to be memorized word for word. We memorized everything--multiplication tables, the Latin Mass, long poems, song lyrics, Gettysburg Address, Declaration of Independence, Geometry theorems, speeches, vocabulary, etc.--

Is memorization part of any modern day curriculum? I doubt it. Maybe we're evolving to the planet of the apes! Lol
