I hear about this goldfish memory thing all the time. I want to see a reference! (hmmph)
(I don’t care enough to look for it).

It’s actually been disproven (reference not provided)

Animals cant talk either.

Goldfish are actually very clever; they can remember loads of stuff.

A schoolboy now busted the myth that goldfish have a memory of 3 seconds.
http://www.nzherald.co.nz/category/story.cfm?c_id=82&objectid=10493133
“Rory’s experiment involved teaching a small group of fish to swim to a beacon by establishing a memory connection between the beacon and food.
Over a period of three weeks, he placed a beacon in the water at feeding time each day, waited 30 seconds and then sprinkled fish food around the beacon.
The time taken for the fish to swim to the beacon reduced dramatically, from more than one minute for the first few feeds to less than five seconds by the end of the three weeks.
Following the initial three-week period, Rory removed the beacon from the feeding process.
Six days later, he once again placed the beacon in the water and despite not seeing it for almost a week, the fish swam to the beacon in 4.4 seconds, showing they had remembered the association between food and the beacon for at least six days.”
Well done lad!

I’m so good it scares a lot of people. Especially French people.
May 28th, 2008 at 1:50 pm
you should know that french people are never afraid, especially to be ridiculous…
May 29th, 2008 at 8:58 am
Because they were born ridiculous
May 29th, 2008 at 10:32 am
yeah, a recent paper published in International Journal of Unconvenient Scientific Results that there is a ridiculous gene which is spreading in french population… It’s coming from a tiny unsignificant country called Holland…
May 29th, 2008 at 4:02 pm
That’s a lie. Nothing ever came from holland except shit.
May 29th, 2008 at 8:18 pm

And some lazy scientists
May 29th, 2008 at 8:19 pm
