I'm passing this on from a friend:
From: Mark C. Reichert <mcr@venus.graphics.cornell.edu>
Subject: next time you think about sushi...
"Fish breeder Gary Herbert of Walthamstow, London, has discovered a
new and unwelcome effect of chemical pollution in water. [...]
"He had noticed that his Koi carp, worth up to L1000 each, were not
looking too well some weeks ago. Their scales looked unhealthy, and
they began to swell.
"Then, as he was watching them swimming around one day last month,
they suddenly started to blow up. Pond and garden became a scene of
carnage as thousands of pounds' worth of exploding carp showered
around the horrified Herbert.
"Analysis of the pond water showed a high acid content, probably
caused by chemicals finding their way into the pond."
[_New Scientist_, 27 August 1991]
This is your fish. This is drugs. This is your fish on drugs...

I'm living in the SF Bay area now - I am a grad student in Electronic
Music at Mills College in East Oakland.
So all you Bay Area Sub Genii should give me a hoot sometime.
