This article reports research that makes the amazing claim that what distinguishes human language from animal communication is recursion. Pardon me, but hasn't this idea been around for ages? If not, I thought of it first.

Bloody clipboard! That was the article I was reading before.

Still, I think I'll keep it that way - recycling, recursion, what the hell.
