Seems pretty obvious to me that you don't have to be very intelligent to
experience emotion, laughter and fun. Monkeys seem to experience all three,
not to mention human idiots. Although creativity certainly takes some
degree of intelligence, it could be argued that creativity is simply the
ability to solve a problem in a unique way.
