The Biden administration's simulated reality has collapsed under the weight of its own hubris, leaving behind a Trumpian order that, despite its flaws, is refreshingly human and real, says Mary Harrington in UnHerd.

Nemo always returns

category international | sci-tech | other press author Friday May 04, 2007 23:49author by mac fishie Report this post to the editors

Australian scientists Geoff Jones & Glenn Almany, both of the University of James Cook in Queensland have published the results of their long awaited "Nemo Fish" study.

They irradiated more than 300 female fish in the waters surrounding Papua New Guinnea in the South Pacific so as to track them and test the Walt Disney "in search of Nemo" theory that fish always return home (if not on your dishie - they're at home - irradiated - extinct or cutely searching their moma's and papa's).

At least 60% of the tracked fish returned home. It's not a land slide majority but is certainly indicative of a fair chunk of the fish in question sharing something important in common :- "their idea of home". Thankfully for 3rd world fisherpeople fish have remarkably short memories and so any of the more suspicious fish will soon forget how much studying went into their habits & movements.

It is not just the AngloSaxonCeltic Empire who are discussing this question. The Spanish are too.

"Nemo always comes in" (in spanish from "el Pais" very reliable newspaper)

"Tag a Fishie today & the sooner you will have it on your dishie - afore the seas gang dry my luv"

Alas, the application of this technology and scientific research will not put fish on the menu of 3rd world people. It is a shameful fact that Ireland under the FF/PD regime saw EU allowances conceded to our fishing industry abused by but a few individuals to create the largest fishing vessel floating. That vessel fishes the poorest waters of the Atlantic - turning the food of Senegal, Ghana ad the west coast of Africa into crabsticks. There! I told you the truth. There's no crab in crabsticks. & it's your celtic dawn tiger fault. Have you Irish no shame for how selfish & divisive your home rule was?

The rivers still have some fish and the deep sea waters still offer a bit of game, chance to keep your target practise from going rusty & even Dublin's parlours have improved for a bit of special relaxation afterwards. But - a life of such leisure is not enjoyed by all nor can be as long as revolutionaries still lurk in our hedgerows fomenting dangerous ideas.
I caught my gilly reading this morning. After giving him a sound thrashing for arising above his station I took the bother of perusing the leaflets his pathetic horned claws had been clutching. The cowering man (obviously scared of losing his employment) quickly confessed to me that local Home Rule politicians are organising his area and seeking votes.
I didn't see a single word about fishing, angling, hardship payments, farming or controlling pollution.

220 million acres of surface area goes from paddling depth to around 300 metres. It is thus very very big. Food for everyone :-
