Evil Sid Posted October 13, 2013 Report Share Posted October 13, 2013 If the population of China walked past you, 8 abreast, the line would never end because of the rate of reproduction. Small point if they are all walking past me 8 abreast when do they find time to reproduce? "Stewardesses"is the longest word typed with only the left hand Not by me it isn't Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RingoDave Posted October 17, 2013 Report Share Posted October 17, 2013 As for the goldfish - how on Earth did someone measure that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evil Sid Posted October 17, 2013 Report Share Posted October 17, 2013 more to the point is WHY did someone measure that. Your actual goldfish has a capacity for learning and has a memory span greater than the stated 3 seconds. They have been known to be able to negotiate simple obstacles in return for food and over a period of time have learnt to recognise the route that will get them to the food in the shortest time.
