things like this always make me wonder though

someone has obviously caught one of these things

did they know it was edible before it appeared on the market stall?

was it on the market stall just on the "off chance" that someone would be hungry enough to buy it?

as always ananova is very sketchy on details

do the locals know a lot more about this creature ?

i read a lovely book by bill bryson called a short history of nearly everything

plug plug

his comment on what we actually know about the deep sea areas of our planet was

It's rather as if our first-hand experience of the surface world were based on the experience of five guys exploring on garden tractors after dark

i sometimes wonder if we havent indeed been exploring the surface world on garden tractors after dark
