To the PDA, no I did not conduct these studies myself, I delegated. I'm good at that you know!

Yeah these are interesting some of these I have no idea how anybody could find out i.e. A gold fish memory span is only about 3 seconds... now really. Dori had better memory than that.

How about the one that says that butterflies taste with their feet, you think maybe they eat with their... butts? Yak

Nikki and Chely - You two have the same idea, I know where you're going with this.

Response from the snail - "I am a distant cousin of the melo's".

Somehow I kinda knew that was going to be the answer.
