one thing its been a proven fact, That the 3 second memory of a goldfish is not true. Scientists have trained gold fish to feed themselves. this was done by feeding the fish at the same time everyday, and they tought them to press a button every time to recieve there food. After a while the food was delivered electronicly by the press of the button. and it worked.
and also 4:20 is not only doobie time but its the code for possesion of marijuana for the police.
but some really cool facts though http://forums.ubi.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_smile.gif
