Interesting!

A goldfish has a memory span of three seconds.

ok, but I heard goldfish had a memory span of 4 seconds. And how accurate can anyone be about that? I have had goldfish and they know when you are about to feed them. The fish see the food so does that mean their memory span is actually longer than three seconds? Or did I just have intelligent goldfish?

Wait till I tell all my friends I know everything. Wonder how far that will fly? (or in my case hop)

Thanks

I always wanted to know everything...my life long search is now over.

I don't have goldfish, but my beta gets all excited everytime I go to feed him...does he remember or is it just a reaction to the fish food container?

One small fact worth knowing...the rate of a fall is directly proportional to the gravity content...which is 32 feet per second squared...aka...the acceleration of gravity. Yawn...not as good as peanuts to dynamite.

Did you know that they think that Winston Churchill was bi-polar? Whoever they are.

I love this post...Thank you...

oops.. not a fact that Niagara Falls froze over.. i got this in an email and glimpsed over it. prob should have read it more closely. prob more r wrong... guess whoever thought they knew it all really didn't. they should at least get their facts right. geesh, maybe i should make sure what i send on is correct info. guess it goes both ways..

[breezer]

whoa....

I knew Churchill had depression at least, so bi-polar wouldn't surprise me! I heard goldfish had 8 second memories several years ago, glad to see science is making progress :-)

I kind of agree with that, We have angel fish that seem to actually beg for food as you walk by. But I do think it would be a blessing if the fish did have short attension spans as their life would be really boring swimming around in that little aquarium. I kind of think fish think like Dori did in Finding Nemo.

Seems to me an awful lot of succesful people were bipolar or suffered with depression. must be a sign of superior inteligence. Glad to know I am in good company!

[meander]

Yeah there's a few of them... We are not alone. Heaps of politicans so don't know if you'd call them intelligent haha

[AmatureBombTech]

Wowweee! Those are fascinating! I had no idea that Churchill was born in a ladies room of a dance hall....that must have one rousing jive-fest, funky chicken dance!!!!! LOL.
