Survival Research Laboratories made a giant robot that was driven by a hamster, or similar, many years ago. Does anyone remember this? I can’t find any accounts of it online, but it’s in one of their performance videos.

“Goldfish only have a memory of three seconds…that’s why whenever I arrange to meet a goldfish somewhere they never show up, and it’s always, ‘oh, sorry, I forgot!’”

At the time I heard Craig Ferguson tell that joke I wondered how exactly the goldfish he was supposed to meet were getting around. Now I know.

Help I cannot get away from these rough waters - every time i try it gets worse.

edit: oops - that was supposed to be a generic reply to article not to you in particular.
also it would be interesting to see how things changed if there was more stabilization and less abrupt movement… or even better a current like one of those endless swimming pools and have it rotate with the fish
