anyone ever hear about a planaria experiment where the worms are taught a maze and then ground up and fed to other untrained planaria which will then apear to have instinctual knowledge of the maze?

Ya know what? I think I heard that story once only about rats...
I think they pretty much confirms the urban legend status with that, but maybe snopes.com will have it somewhere.

If that is true, I am sure people will chaste after you, Podman, to "eat" your knowledge.

Beside, how can you train/teach a planaria?

Thanx for the link Podman. Fun thing to do with 5th grade kids to demostrate some of the principles of a scientific investigation, but I am very skeptical about rather the experiment is scientifically sound in a rigorous sense.
