Does it make me an aquarium geek if I knew that was a plecostomus before I clicked on the link?

[Siouxie]

Ben in Cambridge (in the Daily Maily comments):

"it is unlikely it has migrated here" - Yeah, pretty unlikely, but if it had clung onto the back of a Turtle it might have made it on its own.

Another possibility is its reverse evolution. Lancastrians are sliding back into the water due to the adverse grim conditions.

LMAO!

[Guin]

Yikes.

[Layzeeboy]

We're gonna need more tartar sauce.

[Spiny Norman]

Some "plecos" can look even creepier.

[MartiniShark]

Release them in the Potomic. Couldn't hurt.

[Meanie the Blue]

...shire.

It's laying on a 6X6. So it's not that big.

[Loudmouth]

Need chips, really big chips. and lost of malt vinegar.

[Spiny Norman]

Dave,

Don't look now, but you've got them in Florida, too.

[Cheesewiz]

If this thing is only 10" what the hell kind of lens did they use to photograph it, a Hubble zoom?

[padraig]

Boy George never shoulda let those forgers use his picture. NOW look at the mess he's in.

Looks good since he lost weight, though.

Armoured Suckermouths WBAGNFARB

[padraig]

blanky, that's already the name for Kiss's groupies.

[Siouxie]

I thought the photo caption said Bonermouth.

*checks contacts*

[Mahatma Kane Jeeves]

We will . . .

... his father Alan, 45, a service engineer, and his mother Helen, 41, who runs a balloon shop

A balloon shop? (not shoppe) Service engineer?

[Clankazoid]

At first, I thought that was an Amy Winehouse publicity still.

What is the difference between an armored,suckermouth catfish and a lawyer?

One is a scaly,lowlife,bottom feeding cretin and the other is an armor plated fish.

[PM]

And just so's you know, the correct pronunciation of that place is like our American "Listerine." Say it that way and people will be impressed at your erudition.

@Clankazoid: The tip off was the difference in eye makeup.

[O the U(manity)]

Towpath -- toe-path ... ???

Jeezely ... the Brits can't even spell the same way twice, in their own country ...

[NotSherly]

Ha ha Annie.

[Mitch]

Cheesewiz, I thought that fish was monsterous in deminsions based on the detail of the photo thus making that chopping block part of the biggest tree in the universe. I even thought the tent looking thingy in the back ground was a Jeep top. Then I read the fish was only 10 inches long.

They got me all worked up those gits.

[Betsy]

Yeah, well, I may not be an aquarium geek, but I'm some kinda down-home Amurican geek, cuz I took one look and thought "All the armor in the world can't disguise a catfish."
