You've gotta be fast to outrun Long John Silver

So why, you ask, would you put shrimp on a treadmill? Well, to measure the activity of an exercising shrimp of course. That's according to a recent MSNBC article, in which Pacific University biologist David Scholnick makes this shocking statement: "As far as I know, this is the first time that shrimp have been exercised on a treadmill." Preposterous!

Very clever (your title). I kind of pictured it as like a cooked shrimp when you first told me about it, I thought it was like a joke, not a scientific experiment. This just makes me feel like I shouldn't eat shrimp, and I love shrimp! Darn you!
I really don't know what to say... thanks for squirting this over though.
FYI Youtube featured a video of this the other day. mmmmmm.....shrimp
