hi all; I found this little tidbit in my "Bizzarre news" Welsh Professor's Mussel Stressed University of Wales - The previously prestigious University of Wales has spent thousands of dollars examining the question whether mussels can suffer panic attacks. Yes, that's right, some professor decided this was an important question to answer so researchers placed dog whelks, which eat mussels, in a tank and monitored the mussels' heart beat. The results? Mussels' heartbeats increased for up to 24 hours even after the dog whelks were removed. I hope you all enjoy it!
