It's a weird feeling when read an article in in the Age: Chitty, chatty, bang, bang. It cited "there are two reasons why we gossi, meaning social chit-chat: first, it's a really useful source of information, and secondy, ti's the way we form and maintain alliances". It also cited "about 20 per cent of our day is about social grooming. It's about the sam proportion that chimps spend physically grooming.

Is it right? I recalled we have this young colleage who spends a lot of time doing what called CHIT-CHAT. Yes this young guy seems popular, I don't know. I would spend more time on chit-chat, but I have questions how could the work be delivered: I wont have too much time to do the work don't I?
