I mean is it me, look at how cool some of this stuff is. You can have a dog, and well, it's a dog. OK everybody has a dog.

Some fish facts: The best way to keep an animal like a fish healthy is to know how it makes it's living. We are after all very distant relatives of fish (if you believe Darwin) so we should have some sort of understanding of the way they feel. We don’t see the way fish see, we don’t feel the way fish feel, and we also don’t eat the way fish eat. Fish don’t have tongues and they don’t "really" chew.
