Scientists plan to launch 60 tiny fish on a zero gravity rocket ride from above the Arctic Circle on Monday to try to plumb the secrets of motion sickness.
Tomas Hedqvist, project manager for Sweden's Esrange Space Centre, said the baby cichlid fish will head 260 km (160 miles) into the air on an 11-metre (36-foot) two-stage rocket, where they will experience six minutes of weightlessness.
When asked if increasing funding for science education in public schools or care for the elderly and indigent might not be a better use of the millions allocated to this project, the blue-eyed blonde-haired scientists LOL'd.
