Big Fish. Biiiiiiiiiiig Fiiiiiiiiiiish



In the Mekong River there are giant catfish that have been talked about for over a thousand years. They're critically endangered now. So, they caught one and collected it's milt for a captive breeding program. And the big guy died. Oops. Hey, steaks for everyone!

Bazillionaires and Experimental Aircraft

Far too often, famous sons or their uber-famous fathers are always dropping out of the sky. Too many musicians to list, the Petty kid, that Kennedy boy, the Walton heir just yesterday. Amazing that this comic was posted just 2 days ago.

That reminds me: Magnolia is one of my favorite movies.

So I love this story.
