No kidding


My Mom and sister and nephew are coming to town today. I hope we get some sun while they're here, but the prognosis is not good. We'll have fun anyway. Or something. On a lighter note, I just bought a tasty new fresh pineapple (cheap! $1.98!!) and some fresh strawberries (also cheap! $2.98/quart!), so nothing else matters as much.

In 1975 the Rand (South Africa) Daily Mail reported that fisherman Mohamed Sefu from Kilwa, Tanzania, had landed in his nets a rather odd fish. 'It had two legs, each with 10 toes. The arms protruded from its chest, where there was also one eye. On his right side there was another eye which glowed brightly at night. It also had a small horn, like that of a cow, one ear, one hump, a large toothless mouth and a beard under its chin.' No measurements were given, but it was said the creature remained alive for some time after it was caught.
