That is really interesting! Wow. Some of those are quite amazing!
Did you conduct these studies yourself? I'll bet you did! :)

Is the snail a "Melo"?
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.
Where do you get these things???? I know Christopher would like this, and not only that he'll keep asking about it for months and months.....
Love he Blogs Tio!

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