Vannakkam: As bizarre as this seems, it is what I saw about an hour ago. I was driving along, and noticed a crow walking on the road. Not that unusual, no? But as I approached, I noticed it was crossing the road ... on a painted crosswalk. Then a bit further along a person was crossing, not on a crosswalk.
In India on the new 4-lane highway that connects Madurai and Chennai, there are pedestrian overpasses, for obvious safety reasons. As we approached we saw a goat up on the overpass crossing safely, yet people were making mad dashes straight across, amidst cars doing 140 kph or so.
So is the message really that animals are smarter than humans?
