Chinese Fishermen Catch A Porsche Cayenne 

The other day, some fishermen went into the waters off of South China in order to catch some wonderful, wonderful fish. Instead, they got something large, heavy, and bloated.

No, not a dead guy that was thrown overboard by the mob. It was a Porsche Cayenne.

Lake trout gives fisherman the finger

 

When Haans Galassi of Colbert got a call from the Bonner County sheriff this morning, he had a feeling he knew what it was about.

“The sheriff called me and told me he had a strange story to tell me,” said the 31-year-old project manager for a Sandpoint-based software developer.

“He said that a fisherman was out on Priest Lake, and I pretty much knew exactly what he was going to say at that point,” Galassi said.

“I was like: Let me guess, they found my fingers in a fish.”

We don't know why priapiumfish evolved their peculiar gonads

The male fish, a Phallostethus cuulong just 2 centimetres long, weaves between drifting vegetation in the sluggish waters of a canal. He closes in on a female, swims alongside her and tries to mate with her.

But to an outside observer, he seems to be doing it wrong. His head is right next to the female's, but he's at a 45-degree angle so his rear end is well below hers. Sounds misguided, but actually he's doing it exactly right – it's just that his gonads are on his head.
