Hey:

Do goldfish blink?

-- Maria, Escondido

Now Maria, you haven't been doing that Three Stooges eye-poke at your pet, have you? Tsk-tsk. Fish don�t have eyelids. No eyelids, no blinking. To make up for that, Nature gave fish hundreds and hundreds of taste buds. And a wonderful sense of the absurd.
