Re: Let's improve general knowledge
At a quick glance nearly all of those are probably false, so it's actually quite a disservice to general knowledge. These are the kind of things that would have the QI klaxon blaring if you watch the show and follow my meaning.

Re: Let's improve general knowledge
The Mythbusters proved conclusively last year that a Goldfish has a memory that lasts at least months by training them to swim to food through a series of clear walls. If they had a 3-second memory, they couldn't have improved their time through the maze with each attempt.

But then the Mythbusters lost all credibility a long time ago with the sheer amount of bad science on the show. ;-)Chris Trott wrote:The Mythbusters proved conclusively last year that a Goldfish has a memory that lasts at least months by training them to swim to food through a series of clear walls.
