Check out this article in Reuters news about the Mangrove Rivulus, a tropical fish that can live outside of the water for over three months!
Educational fur shure, but I decided to share it because of this last paragraph - a quote from the scientist, "This is probably the coolest fish around, not only do they have a very bizarre sex life, but they really don't meet standard behavioral criteria for fishes," said Taylor in a summary of his paper.
Scott Taylor is probably a pretty hilarious guy - I love the mix of the very colliquial "coolest fish...bizarre sex life" right before the very serious-researcher-sounding "standard behavioral critera."
Geeks rule.
