-goldfish have an attention span of 3 seconds


Carebear~I didn't know this about goldfish~and I used to have a 10 gallon tank with lots of 'em swimming around in there! . 3 seconds? Maybe that's why they gobble up fish food so fast~if they pause too long to think about it, then they might not know what to do next, huh? . I like this idea you came up with a lot!Very entertaining and clever blog. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!

No, actually that's not entirely true.  See 'Mythbusters' for explanation.

Hitler was a Jew himself

Still relating to the arguement we had...I asked my S.S. teacher and she said that it was undetermined...but his biological father WAS Jewish...but it hasn't been really proven that Hitler himself was ever a Jew...

Anyway...interesting article...Good Job!

Dharma~ Yes, I do watch mythbusters, but I don't believe I've seen that episode. I guess I'll have to look for that one!

MP~ Yeah maybe that is why they gobble up the food so quickly eh?

Zoo~ Yes, I was still relating to the arguement we had last night. hehe. I couldn't ask my S.S. teacher because we had a sub yesterday. But I'll ask him today when I get back to school, because right now i'm at my grandma's work for job shadowing for life planning class. Hopefully I'll get back in time for 7th per, if not it'll be 8th per. I'm going to prove you and Capt. wrong! mwahahahaha! lol.

Jew-isness, for want of a better term, comes from your mother.  The reasoning for it is that paternity can sometimes be challenged, but materninty cannot.  So, whilst Hitler's father may have been Jewish, if his mother wasn't, little Adolf wouldn't have automatically been jewish either.


The Mythbusters episode about the goldfish was really quite funny.  Jamie and Adam both got identical tanks and the same number of fish.  they each created a maze of sorts )out of perspex plates wth holes in them that the fishes had to swim through) in their tanks and put food at the other end of the maze.  Over the course of 10 days, they tried to teach the fish how to navigate the maze to get to the food at the other end.  By the end of the 10 days, most of Adam's fish had died, but all of Jamie's had figured out how to get through the maze to the food, and were able to do it in under 60 seconds...thereby proving that goldfish can remember things from longer than 30 seconds ago and busting the myth.


the word fagget means bundle of sticks


In England we eat faggots and gravy..highly seasoned meatballs in gravy..and a fag is also a cigarette.

Well then I guess that a fish having an attention span of three seconds is wrong. My bad! Well now faggots are food? hehe. I never knew it could have all these meanings. The only two i knew were that it meant someone was gay or a bundle of sticks.

Yes, and they're really quite yummy, especially with mashed potatoes and peas.

You got something against peas, Mr Frog?


We have something called 'mushy peas' in England.  It's the pea equivalent of creamed corn.

Well now maybe i'll have to try some of those faggots one of these days! Mashed Potatoes and Peas sound good right now. But the mushy peas don't especailly if they'r like creamed corn. I don't really like creamed corn. But hey, that's just me!

Peas are one of the most vile things for food in the world. My mother made me eat them when I was a kid, I absolutely hate the fucking things. Bless my wife, she never cooks peas because she knows I hate them.

Well, Dave detests them as well...but he's gone, so I'm cooking and eating peas.  Me and Jake are the only ones that eat them; my other 2 have inherited their father's taste buds and gag at the thought of them.


Mmmmmm...mushy peas and faggots.

Hey, carebear, you know, you can't prove us both wrong. I said he was Jewish and zoo said he wasn't. But good luck anyways.

So, every time someone dies, It doesn't matter to a Goldfish, because they cant remember anyway?

BAM!!!

Yep.  And they can't remember if Hitler was a Jew or not.

Well, they can recognize color so i guess they'd remember what happened last time that there was red in the water.

Indeed. I was kind of surpised on that. I love mythbusters!

Hehe, funny dharma. I don't even think that they would even know anything about Hitler anyways. lol.

Capt.~ When me, you, zoo, alex, and kate were arguing over wether hitler was jew or not, i could've sworn that you said he wasn't. Oh well maybe i got you mixed up with kate or alex. But you'll have that. Me and Zoo had a discusion at the end of 8th per. today along with Alan. We figured out that the only way Hitler could be a jew is since his father was a jew but his mother was not, if his mother chanced her religion and became a jew because of getting married then that's the only possible way he could be a true jewish person. It has to be passed by the mother.
