Not really, Northwest Pacific Salmon, actually. It’s amazing these little fishes might swim as far as some scientists (I don’t trust any scientist) think they do.
From BBC.com:
“Analysis of the data revealed that two tagged juveniles had taken three
months to complete a 2,500km (1,550-mile) migration from a tributary of
the Columbia River into the Pacific Ocean, and north to Alaska.”
I think Tracy Morgan as Brian Fellow would say “Damn little fishes, that’s far.”
On another random note, I had a dream last night that my brother had a very badly hooked nose.

I don’t know why scientists would make something like that up.
I love the GI Joe reference in ‘Knowing is half the battle,’ but you must realize that salmon are amazing in their ability to travel long distances (for example from here to Japan and back) and be able to find their way back to their original breeding ‘grounds’ each year, with incredible accuracy. And ’scientists’ for years have not only inferred this, they know it by means of implanted radio transmitters in the fish. It’s nuts, but true. Check it out! Pretty cool stuff…
