Hello and welcome to another episode of No Such Thing as a Fish,
a weekly podcast this week coming to you live from POOL!
My name is Dan Schreiber, I'm sitting here with Anna Tyshinski, Andrew Hunter Murray, and James Harkin,
and once again we have gathered round the microphones with our four favorite facts from the last seven days,
and in no particular order, here we go.
Starting with fact number one, and that is James.
My fact this week is that tardigrades can survive being shot out of a gun, but they're a bit groggy afterwards.
Tardigrades.
Tardigrades, yes, tiny little things, not quite microscopic, you can see them if you look really,
really carefully, but very, very small little things, living in all over the world, probably some in your garden,
probably some on this stage, no they're not on this stage,
they live in like moss and in bits of grass and stuff like that,
they're really, really strong, powerful things, you can't kill them, virtually nothing will kill them.
They're not powerful, they can't put a lorry, they're not going to be able to give you a piggyback.
If you've got enough of them Anna, I reckon, what do you reckon?
I think it's enough of anything, you can put a lorry.
We don't need them to put a lorry, we just need them to drive a lorry.
Apparently scientists, I read,
can't work out a scenario in which they would go extinct prior to the actual explosion of the sun basically.
Well the explosion of the sun might not kill them either, so basically they can survive in space,
