Talking Fish!

Fish Who Answer the Telephone and Other Studies in Experimental Biology - Yury Petrovich Frolov

The study in the title was not in fact to determine if fish could answer the phone but whether they found a constantly ringing telephone irritating.
Apparently they do!

  • Swallowing magnets can be dangerous
  • Memory fades with age
  • Bears sh*t in woods
