This would depend very much upon your definition of "something that doesn't say anything" because many animals without vocal chords use other body parts to communicate - crickets use their legs, bees 'dance'...is this speaking or communicating??
Jellyfish

Is a Jellyfish, Octopus or a Centipede classed as a mammal?
A mammal is -
Any vertebrate of the class Mammalia, usu. a warm-blooded quadruped with hair or fur, the females of which possess milk-secreting mammae for the nourishment of the young, and including human beings, dogs, cats, rodents, cattle, whales, bats, etc.

GPS_Fan, I think you over complicated the question.

Yes, I deliberately complicated the question because this thread started off by saying that questions were too easy

ooops, yes, sorry - I should have expanded my definition like GJF did for me.
I was in two minds whether to include that post to make people laugh or leave it out...maybe I made the wrong choice

Nothing to say sorry for!  :o
It's understandable that the rabbit bonked her head going through the low doorway.
Did you see that enormous rabbit in the newspaper?
It was the size of a child. 8O

Stop trying to hijack my questions  | GPS_fan wrote: | This would depend very much upon your definition of "something that doesn't say anything" because many animals without vocal chords use other body parts to communicate - crickets use their legs, bees 'dance'...is this speaking or communicating??
Jellyfish
Octopus
Centipede
It's good to see that our favourite white van man is keeping his brain so active
Now I'm waiting for the next question Dennis |
Next question - Which ones of the above are NOT mammals? Hint - although not multiple choice, this one might be multiple answers.
Just for further interest. Back in another alter ego (35 years ago), I worked for a mail order company and we had outworkers - women who had to stamp addresses or whatever onto envelopes. They were know as "Bonkers".

Would have to be... 
Variation on DennisN's question, which one of the above is bonkers? although not multiple choice either, this one might be multiple answers too.

To much bonking of he head could make you go blind.
