Yesterday, while running errands, we were listening to Wait, Wait... Don't Tell Me on NPR. I really enjoy that show. It always makes me giggle anytime I'm lucky enough to hear some of it while driving about town on Saturday mornings. Well, yesterday I was laughing very hard over a news story where scientists developed a treadmill in order to exercise shrimp. Anyway, there is a video and it is strangely fascinating, watching shrimp scuttle on an underwater treadmill. Who knew that shrimp could run so fast?

And if you are curious about why someone might want a shrimp treadmill here is an article about the scientists that think shrimp need more exercise.
