Catfish = crazy

New learning courtesy of a chickpea.

Catfish have taste buds all over their bodies.

"Catfish are swimming tongues," says Dr. John Caprio of Louisiana State University. "You can't touch any place on a catfish without touching thousands of taste buds. To use an analogy, it's as if the tip of your tongue grew out and covered your body."

Gross.

Apparently their other senses are great too, but this one is the creepiest if you ask me.
