I so enjoyed reading the legendary threads about Planes on a Treadmill, and its [variant discussions and jokes](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/search.php?searchid=2011147). So I am proud to present… [**“Shrimp On A Treadmill !!!”**](http://youtube.com/watch?v=kKRkP43R8pY) I actually can’t think of a factual question to ask about shrimps on treadmills at the moment, so I’ll just post here in MPSIMS. OK…it’s my lunch break and I’m bored anyway. ---

So can the shrimp take off or not? ---

The shrimp needs a personal trainer. I suggest a mussel.\* \*Stolen from Roy Blount, Jr., but worth repeating. ---

Why does he get the treadmill all to himself? I don’t know about you, but I call that shellfish. ---

[QUOTE=ArchiveGuy] This link produces zilchola. [/QUOTE] Arrrrgh…that was supposed to link to search results related to planes and treadmills. Obviously, I failed in that simple task. I blamed the shrimp, not the treadmill. ---
