Where No Fish Has Gone Before

This is pretty neat. Fish with wheels. I'm not sure if it's useful, but it's interesting.

And I'll bet even this won't keep you from blurting out classified stuff about s----s with frickin l----s on their heads

It's a step toward Dolphin Land Suit.

It kind of reminds me of the old Far Side cartoon where the fish is venturing out of his bowl in a diving suit.

I wonder if they'll run a concurrent experiment to see if women need men as much as these fish need their bicycles...

Man am I glad this got posted. I thought I was losing my mind.

This morning, I was on the freeway and I got run off the road by about 40 or 50 of these things, running side by side, wide open, about 70 mph.

A sort of Siamese Angels on Wheels scenario.

One of the actually had a fish tank that was mostly chrome and partlt painted like an American flag.

You know, having a robot sentry that can "see" and identify humans requires lots of complex programming and cameras and such. Maybe instead, we have the same robot but with a fishbowl instead of a camera; the fish sees an intruder, thinks it's dinnertime, moves towards the human, and the robot's programming kicks in and tasers the bad guy.

This sounds like something out of the Hitchhikers guide to the Galaxy.
