Israeli researchers decided to
teach goldfish how to drive. Turns out they can drive pretty well. The good folks at Ben-Gurion University developed an FOV (Fish Operated Vehicle - duh) and used six goldfish in the test. Admitedly I think this is cool for no other reason than to say a
goldfish drove a car. But the researchers had loftier goals: "
Showing that a fish has the cognitive capability to navigate outside its natural environment of water can expand scientific knowledge of animals' essential navigation skills." Meh, I still think they buried the lead.
