I knew they were smarter than a liberal but that is not saying much.

adding that stimulus-response conditioning is thought to show low intelligence. Finally an explanation for my Thai girls addiction.
I can now blame it on low intelligence.

The statement by this assclown that a goldfish is smarter than a dolphin pretty well discredits the entire study.
I've spent alot of time on the water, some of it professionally, and have always thought that dolphins have an intelligence somewhere along the lines of dogs or wolves, which is a lot less than they've been given credit for, but still pretty good.. Whatever their intelligence level, they have a clear affinity and affection for humans that is deserving of our respect.

If goldfish are so smart, how come they will swallow a piece of poop, realize it is poop, spit it out, and immediately swallow it again, and again, and again,...

Dolphins are dumber than goldfish and don't have the know-how to match a rat, but they're so pumped full of happy chemicals they probably don't care one bit I got a brother like that.

"When a goldfish jumps out of its bowl, it's thinking past its immediate environment."
Not very far past it.
