Fish Braiiiiiins
My buddy Oliver (Gillian’s sisters boyfriend) is a scientist and a great photographer. I don’t know exactly what he does, but its all very scientific with microscopes and big words and such. He does a lot of work with snails, and occasionally fish. He gets to work with some pretty impressive toys, including a confocal laser scanning microscope which he used to take this image of a fish brain!
See more of Oliver’s photos on flickr, including a couple more shots of fish!

Ghana’s Fish Coffins
In Ghana, West Africa, when you die, you go out in style - If you’re rich. These spectacular fantasy coffins often cost more then the average Ghanaian earns in a year.
“a fisherman may be buried in a model of his boat or, Jonah-like, in a large sculpted fish. The farmer is borne within an icon of his beloved bull, the politician powers off in his mahogany Merc, and the frequent flyer wings his way to heaven in a balsawood 747. You can have whatever you and Paa Joe think best reflects your business or takes your fancy - except powerful birds, which are reserved for royalty and prominent leaders.”

The Headington Shark
The owner of this house, Bill Heine, commissioned a shark sculpture to be built on his rooftop in 1986. When reports asked why, Bill said:
-
“The shark was to express someone feeling totally impotent and ripping a hole in their roof out of a sense of impotence and anger and desperation…. It is saying something about CND, nuclear power, Chernobyl and Nagasaki.”
He later added, “That, and sharks are bloody cool!”
“The headless sculpture, with the label “Untitled 1986″ fixed to the gate to the house, was erected on the 41st anniversary of the dropping of the atomic bomb on Nagasaki. Created by the sculptor John Buckley, it is made of fiberglass, weighs four hundredweight, and is 25 feet long.”

Woody (3 days, 4 hours ago)That's the trouble right there, the finish on these Lures!...I started buying Rapala jointed and when i had a couple i just had to buy them in all the different finishes (Hot Perch, Perch, Walleye etc etc), i had so many in the end it was like i was collecting them to put in a glass case or something, i didn't dare use them, a Pike won't care if your Lure cost 5 quid or 30 quid, it's still gonna scratch all that fancy artwork/paintwork either way!...I sold all mine as a set on ebay in the end as i [...]

Re: Stormy Kromer Hat Contest!
Jason Wilson (2 months, 2 weeks ago)I'm not much for a pithy comment, but I thought I'd leave a note about how honored I be to wear Kromer on my upcoming annual pheasant hunting trip to South Dakota. I'm sure that my hunting buddies will joke about how silly I look while they wear their stylized broad brim hunting caps, but I'll be laughing on the inside as my head stays nice and warm. I'll be laughing al the more when the stiff South Dakota wind picks up and Kromer is staying put. Finally, with the fall bite on, I know my new Kromer will call the [...]
