There are two lessons that can be learned from the un-named Alaskan bush pilot who had his plane mauled by an irritated grizzly bear.

The first lesson is that it is a wise idea to clean your plane after using it to haul your fishing catch after landing at your camp. If you don’t you may just find it becoming an attraction to a passing grizzly bear who can’t pass up what he thinks might be a free meal – if he can just get at it.

The second lesson is that duct tape truly can fix just about anything even a grizzly ravage bush plane.

After finding his plane had been treated like a scratching post by a hungry grizzly looking for the fish it smelled from inside he radioed for some supplies. His shopping list included two new tires to replace the one’s destroyed by the bear. Along with that he asked for three cases of duct tape and a couple rolls of cellophane tape.

As you can see from the picture the once mauled bush plane was literally patched back together with duct tape and air worthy enough to get the pilot back to civilization.

In what is described as the second largest acrylic glass panel aquarium in the world we see everything from whale sharks to manta rays. The aquarium is called the Kuroshio Sea and is part of the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium. It holds 7,500 cubic meters (1,981,290 gallons) of water in a tank that measures 8.2 meters by 22.5 meters with a thickness of 60 centimeters for the acrylic glass walls.

It’s suggested that the video is best viewed fullscreen. The music is called “Please Don’t Go” by Barcelona

It never fails, just when you think things might be quieting down on the old animal rights front those whacky folks at PETA show us once more just how loony they really are. However this time it has nothing to do with semi nude famous people doing stupid things (sorry guys no free peep shows this time). It turns out that the things that has raised the ire of PETA this time around is an and age old tradition at The Pike Place Fish Market in Seattle.

While the fishmongers and customers alike have no problem with this flying fish act PETA on the other hand says we should be showing some respect for those dead fish.

Asserting that the practice of lobbing fish above the heads of patrons and tourists at the market and other venues is disrespectful to creatures that already have gone through a lot, an animal rights group is protesting plans to stage a flying-fish exhibition at an upcoming national veterinarians conference in Seattle.

Ultimately, they would like to see the practice banned at the fish market too. They argue that tourists would not be nearly so eager to snap photos if dead kittens or gutted lambs were sailing over their heads.

"Killing animals so you can toss their bodies around for amusement is just twisted," said Ashley Byrne, senior campaigner for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals in Washington, D.C.

Okay, here’s a hint – the fish are dead. They don’t care anymore that they are going to end of as fillets and yet these idiots seem to think that dead fish need respect. I tell you what you bunch of twits why don’t you expend your energies on things that do deserve respect – like homeless children, abuse women and the other more important individuals who need help.

But no you think that the so-called dignity of dead fish deserve more respect – no wonder you’re a bunch of losers.

Tammy Gobin has a minor problem: she smells like fish.

The video explains it some more, but apparently in our politically correct society, no one thought to tell poor Tammy that she smelt like a fishmongers at 10am on a Saturday.

But medical science being as it is has a name for everything, and Tracey suffers from trimethylaminuria, or “fish malodor syndrome,” described as “a rare disease that makes people smell repulsive.”
