"There are some questions in science that can only be answered by strapping a pair of 3D glasses to an unsuspecting cuttlefish and setting it loose in an underwater movie theatre"

I think it's a wonderful story (but I do dislike animals being used like this - if they eat Barry afterwards then I'd be less disappointed but...)

Thing I was most disappointed about was the last paragraph - there's no need to justify - science for science's sake is OK.

Or put 3D glasses on him as that’s far worse.

I can see clearly now the specs are on.
I can see all obstacles in my way.
Gone is the flat view that had me blind
It's gonna be a 3d (3d)
3d (3d) science day
It's gonna be a 3d (3d)
3d (3d) science day

Good effort but

I can see all obstacles in my way

Should have been "I can see all octopuses in my way"

Never pass up a fish pun.

Better effort, but an octopus isn't a fish...

I think we are watering down the message here. We need to make sure this important research does not become a damp squid.

Does this qualify the article as genuine click bait? 😉
