mleahy999 is right - Discovery channel had a show where a team who were searching for the giant squid (Architeuthis) were able to capture a live baby. Though they went to extreme efforts to keep it alive, the baby died just a few hours after being caught.
This was cool. For those that use proxy at work, remember that you might need to add the proxy information in the Real preferences. At least I had to at my job.
Ugh! I rarely get the octupus. Way too chewy for sushi or sashimi, IMO. Never even heard of shark sushi.
Yeah I know. I've been using Smart Balance ever since I blew the crap off of the cholesterol scale at my last physical in March. It tastes OK once you get used to it. I even make "cream sauces" nowadays using a combination of melted margarine and soy milk. 10 years ago, I would have laughed at such a thing!
No shark sushi...shark steaks. Yes I understand how you would not like octopus, or even squid, if you don't like chewy in your sushi. The things I cannot handle at the sushi bar are mackerel and quail eggs.
I don't mind the eggs, but the mackerel is horrid. Why they bother with that is a mystery. I like just about every other fish, though. Tuna and yellowtail are my musts, plus the most outrageous roll I see on the menu. Remember to get the Godzilla Roll when you see it. Spicy tuna, fresh jalepenos and tabasco. Dip it in wasabi, and you've got a bonafide winner!
The Shark got sucker punch by the Octopus. Octopus ambushed the shark and just grab him up and tangle him up with the tentacles. Eventually the shark died. Nothing the shark can do to fight back. Advantage of having freely movable arms. The shark's deadly weapon is the teeth which has no use here.
Yeah, the first time I was ever brave enough to try sushi was when my cousin & her husband visited me up at college. They insisted that we go to a sushi bar. Keep in mind this is the first time I'd braved the world of sushi. I'm browsing the menu just randomly spouting out names of fish and asking, "is that any good? is this any good?" I get to mackerel and they both smile and say, "you HAVE to try the mackerel." And that was that. I was shocked to discover they didn't order it themselves. Until it came. And I had to eat it while they watched in anticipation. It probably took me a good 4 years before I stepped into another sushi restaurant again.
Contrary to what most people say, the most dangerous animal in the world is not the lion, or the tiger, or even the elephant. It's a shark riding on an elephant's back, just trampling and eating everything they see.
Oh, I disagree. My Hippopotamus riding Octopus, or Hippoctapus, would totally annhilate your Eleshark.
In 1776, Holy Mackarel barely won out over the phrase Holy crap that's a shark on an Elephants back. holy mackerel -Holy Mackerel dates back at least 200 years and is one of very many blasphemous oaths with the Holy prefix. Holy Mackerel was almost certainly a reference to Catholics eating fish on Fridays. Holy Mackerel does have a certain ring to it, in a way that Holy Skate, or Holy Cod do not..... ). As well as being a popularly eaten fish of the times (affordable by Catholics on limited budgets - the insulting term 'mackerel snatchers' was also used for Catholics in the 19th century), the word Mackerel has historically been a strong fish symbol and fish stereotype (the French word maquereau is slang for 'pimp', due to its habit supposedly of leading other fish to their mates). The term Holy Mackerel would also have served as a euphemistic substitute for Holy Mary or Holy Mother of God, which is why words beginning with M feature commonly in these expressions.
ok only a stupid biologist can make a serious comment on this post. So i'll give it a try The Hippopotamus is the most dangerous animal in africa. The Panda bear is the most dangerous animal in Asia. There are more people getting killed by falling in the bathroom(at the beach) then by a shark attack. The most poisoness animal in the world are seasnakes.
Um, are you sure? http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=hypothalamus That's doesn't sound that dangerous, unless it stops regulating the body temperature or something. And why isn't an elephant on your list. I'm not a biologist, but I've heard that a pissed off elephant can pretty much **** anything else up.
thanks I edited it, ofcourse i meant Hippopotamus.(damn latin names look all a like. they shouldn't let me learn so many of them). ofcourse an elephant when angry is not good. however the Hippopotamus has the most human causulties in africa. The reason is that the elephant is not an agressive species, and you can see them from a distance, so you almost never get to close of them. And even then if you do not do stupid things it will not attack you. However if they attack you you have a huge problem, but the same thing goes for rhinocerous. The biggest problem of an elephant now adays is that there are so many that some even look for food in towns, thereby destroying a lot of things. However they do not have a lot of human casualties. The Hippopotamus is an verry agressive specie, and you almost do not see them laying in the water. So many people on a boat do not see that they sail into a group of Hippopotamus. Hippopotamus have Huge mouths and giant teeths, they can bite most African boats(on those rivers) in two. And then you are screwed. If you have a intelligent guide and he doesn't slack of his job, you do not get this problem. But the Hippopotamus has the most human casualties in africa. I'm more surprised no one found it strange that the Panda bear has more casualties then the tiger. but maybe that is common knowledge
