There are days where reading the news is akin to running a gauntlet down into the underworld. People killing their children in home exorcism rituals, people setting goats on fire, AIDS, Iraq, terrorism, the unending nightmare of Israel and Palestine, all of the awful things we see. Even reading about politics can be frustrating more often than not.

In an effort to comabt all this for a brief moment, I present my favorite happy news story of the day. Too bad they will put it on display, because you could have a giant dinner with this fish.

I think that fish has mutated. Maybe some cool toxins in the water helped it out :-P
