10/10/2003: A Fish Called Onda

The UK's Sun is responsible for the pun in the title, which I couldn't help but pass along. A man purchased this koi carp for his aquarium only to find that, as its scales aged, they darkened and formed a word. So the fish is now named that.

Onda?

Or, if you flip the photo upside down it kinda looks like BONO;) .

Stuttering the name Onda doesn't sound as good as Wanda.

Now, do you believe there is a God.:)

I believe that a batch of koi escaped from a secret base in which cleverly inscrutable Asian scientists are experimenting with new advertising possibilities, including fish which grow logos.

This is an early prototype fish, thus the lack of the "H" in Honda.

They are working on developing a type of koi with scales that will have their own lumescent glow to gently encourage us to buy the correctly harmonius product for our best feng shui health and cures.

I dig that kooky font. Where can I dl a copy of that? Is that ttf?

Maybe the Chinese are planning a knock off.;)

That's no fish
 

It's a cleverly-disguised dolphin.

Re: That's no fish
 

The dolphin mammal or dolphin fish?;)

Re: That's no fish
 

I was going to say that.

I chose not to. ;)

Since the tail is vertical...

After we finish beating the dead dolphin, let's go club some baby seals...eh?
