2. No, the fish like it as they usually find it very hard to make friends. And, as Sir David Attenborough pointed out in his most recent nature series, perch are fascinated by magnets and the rivets make it much easier for them to find magnets in even the muddiest of rivers.

Maybe I should take up public speaking.
It is rather a shame that most people get their science information from the press releases 'reinterpreted' by the press which often - at best - garbles the science, and at worst totally misrepresents it.
One genuine problem is that so much of science, the original papers that you need to write a good article, are now hidden behind a pay wall.The situation is worse now than it was in the 1990s!
