Goldfish Smarter Than Dolphins

flergum writes "While dolphins may have big brains, laboratory rats and goldfish can outwit them. It appears that the large brains are a function of their environment rather than intelligence. From the article: 'Dolphins have a superabundance of glia and very few neurons... The dolphin's brain is not made for information processing it is designed to counter the thermal challenges of being a mammal in water.' I guess this means that the Navy will start recruiting and training goldfish for those mine search and destroy missions."

Fundamentalist Muslims talking about Dolphins

[billhuey]

Here's another tidbit of information. Look at the site hosting the information. It's "Aljazeera", the folks that want fundamentalism Muslims to suicide bomb every American interest, along with the Americans, in the middle east by pumping Anti-American propaganda throughout that region.

Those folks are talking about "Dolphins". What the fuck is this ? Fundamentalist religious freaks are talking about Dolphins. Give me a break.

So "reputable news source" my ass, not that I'm conservative, Fox News fan or anything like that. I'm certainly not.

geez

Notice the source?

TFA is from ... Al-Jazeera. Need I say more? That's a pretty big *bam* to your credibility right there.
