By Here is a strange story for everyone:
Fish with human-looking faces are causing quite a stir in South Korea.
Believed to be the mix of two carp species, the fish appear to have human-like noses, eyes and lips. The fish have generated an enormous amount of curiousity. ( see a photo ).
According to Telegraph.co.uk , the two fish have lived in a pond behind the home of a man in the small town of Chongju since 1986, but are just starting to attract attention.
Scientists tell the Sun that since the two fish are female, it’s unlikely we will see more of these fish produced. [Fox News]

I didn't think that was a big deal. I've had Koreans point out these koi with human faces before, the last time was in Namwon. But I guess they weren't as distinctive as these ones here.

I can't decide, but prepared deep fried or as sushi I think it will go well with either beer or a nice rice wine.

Yeah the story is pretty old, but I did not know it was common for fish to have longer life spans longer than dogs. 1986, really?

I think I went out with her once when I first joined the military. It was a rough night and I really had much too much to drink.
