Just imagine the trial...
In texas it is illegal to have sex with a fish, in florida it is illegal
to get a fish drunk, and n.carolina thought both laws were good, so in
nc it is illegal to have sex with a drunk fish.

Not just a triffle.
Jelly Fish, not sharks, are the deadliest killer in oceans and seas. A
certain kind of box jelly fish kills more people than all the shark
species do put together.
Blinking Heck!
Fish do not have eyelids and therefore cannot blink. This is because the
purpose of blinking is to hydrate the eyes; tear ducts produce moisture,
and blinking spreads that moisture over the surface of the eye. Since
fish live in water they have no need for this.
Dot... dot.. dash...
The elephant snout, an African fish, communicates with other fish by
emitting an electrical signal, sort of a fish's version of Morse Code
A rare delicacy.
In Japan meat from the 'Fugu' or spiny puffer fish is considered a rare
delacasy, however the liver and intestines contain a powerfull
neurotoxin and the slightest contamination during preperation can be
deadly. Restaraunts who serve fugu must have 'Fugu certified' chefs. In
japan about one hundred people on average die annualy from fugu
poisoning.
Nessie the dwarf.
If the Loch Ness monster exists at all, he (or she) could only be about
as big as a sixth grader. A new study shows that there is only enough
fish in the loch to feed a 31 kg (about 67 lb) creature. The scientists
used sonar to estimate the number of fish in the lake and came up with
an annual food supply of 93 kg. Since a cold blooded animal like Nessie
would need to eat about three times its body weight each year, it coul d
only weigh about 31 kg.
Caviar, Maam?
All the sturgeon (the fish from which we get yummy caviar) caught in
