I know you guys can read, but I just feel like saying it out loud, again.

“Only when the last tree has died, and the last river has been poisoned and the last fish has been caught, will we realise that we can not eat money“

There’s so much truth in that … - via AmericansAreBrainwashed

There’s a beauty salon in Virginia that is tapping into a natural resource to clean their clients’ feet … fish! The salon is using bottom feeders to suck on, nibble away at, eat at the dead skin on the feet of their customers.

This sounds like something that might come out of America. Too lazy to bend over and scrub their own tosies, the people apparently stick their tootsies into the fish tank (notice the toenail polish) and let the fish chomp away at the dead skin.

Yuck! Poor fish, indeed.

So, what about humans using animals to do their dirty work? This is not farming either. What do you think about using fish in this manner? What I am interested in knowing is, how in the world did anybody come up with this idea?

“Honey, I got so much dead skin on my feet.”
“That’s nice, dear.”
“Huh!? I said I have too much dead skin on my feet.”
“Why don’t you stick your feet in the fish tank?”
“Stick my feet in the fish tank?! Hmm, maybe.”
“Thank you, honey.”
“You’re welcome, dear.”

Seriously, how could someone come up with this idea?

A Chinese dude landed a 32.5kg (71.5lb) big head carp. Yeah, I suppose if a fish weighed in at the size of the maximum weight for a piece of luggage, it would have a big head.

The carp was also 1.38m (4′6″) tall. The man was fishing in a 60-meter deep water pit and the fish was caught with a net after waiting for an hour and a subsequent 40-minute fight to haul it in.

I don’t know about you, but if all fish were this big, the world’s food problem would be solved, unless, all fish this big were made this big from some sort of outside, you know, contamination or such.

I don’t think we want to go there. At any rate, this isn’t the guy in the pic, but it is an image of what a fish that big looks like.

The biggest fish I ever caught was about the length of my thumb and I used a net and carried it home in a plastic bag only to watch it die after about a week even though I took really good care of him.

No gold there, for sure. How about you? Do you have a fish story to tell?

There’s a saying, “give a man a fish, feed him for a day. Teach him how to fish, feed him for life”. What do they say when monkeys learn how to fish? And, don’t they say things like when cows fly or pigs play the piano?

In Bangkok, the long-tailed macaque monkey can grab fruit from trees or bananaz from tourists, in India, the “cute little” monkeys are considered thieves and pests but in Indonesia, the silver-haired (retired and collecting a pension maybe?) macaque knows how to fish.

Big deal! I mean you get a pole, some string, a hook and some bait, right? Not these little primates. They just reach in and grab the little Nemos.

Though baboons, orangutans, and chimpanzees have been known to fish as well, researchers say this is a “rare and isolated” behavior. Now I wonder, can these monkeys teach us how to fish?
