I used to own this game as a kid! It was a lot of fun, especially when you first meet a new boss and it's the most bizarre, out of place character. I have so many fond memories of it. It's strange to think the only reason I had it was because the box art looked really interesting. I guess that was also the case for most games at the time. I never knew until years later that it was a parody of gradius.

It seems to really like the answer 3.3333....

It'll even give answers to a random assortment of symbols such as "+-+-/" which apparently equals 3.89 or.. 3.33 recurring depending on its mood.

"They’re part of a growing list of animals that use namelike calls."

"The fact that we’re not unique in using them is a tantalizing sign that we aren’t the only beings who can recognize ourselves and those around us as individuals."

Pretty much sums up the article. I wish they'd just say this stuff in the title.
