Didnt Jamie manage to train a goldfish to navigate a maze? That surely shows they have a memory longer than 3 seconds.

It's amazing when reading this how much it makes people think. For example. when said that no word rhymes with month, everyone will strain themselves. However...
7. Strengths has the same amount of characters as Screeched.
43. Wtf is this? You mean, a palindrome? Yeah, there's lots of them.
Goldfish also have instincts which tell them that food comes from above (apparently)

Strengths is a plural of a word so I don't think it really classifies...
Oh and with 30. If a Polar Bear's fur is clear how come they don't appear black?
Post 13
Their fur has no color.
The hair is a hollow cylinder, which aides in heat insulation. When you put layers of clear tubes ontop of each other (like acrylic), it becomes cloudy and somewhat white in appearence. Even though each cylinder is clear, collectively they turn white.
its like, light refraction or some bullshit.
At certain times of the year, Captive Polar Bears actually get a green tinge to them, due to sweat/moisture building up in the hollow hair's and getting manky.
