introduced to a brand-new GoComics! See more information here. Subscribers, check your

From the MythBusters Fandom Wiki: Jamie trained his goldfish to recognize color patterns and complete an obstacle course under water. They remembered what Jamie had taught them over a month later and easily completed the same course without Jamie’s prompting.
Season 1, Episode 14. (Back when they did more science than explosions.)
Some folks have brought up that goldfish can be trained to swim mazes. On the other hand, over my lifetime, I’ve seen a fair number of goldfish that swim excitedly to eat what looks like food, spit it out when they taste that it’s poo, see this “new” thing appear before them (although they just spit it out), and start all over again on a seemingly endless loop. I’m not sure if that means I shouldn’t believe the ’mazing claims or I should realize false hopes can cause ridiculous behavior.
Actually they rigged a little car with a goldfish in a bowl on it with controls. The goldfish drove down the hallway and navigated back again. Way longer attention span than 3 seconds

How did they measure the memory span of goldfish? I’ve wondered….

It’s not true, but it works as a joke for the strip. :D

Yesterday put something in the microwave for 30 seconds and forgot what was in there before it was done.
TING!
