I hope they don't kill them all and I wish they had a picture.

After we get all the tuna, whales, and dolphins, those are next.

Dude, we thought they were extinct for 65 million years. They'll be alright.

I've read that they smell (and presumably taste) really nasty.

Why is it called "ancient" in the headline? The species might be ancient, but this particular fish certainly isn't.

I like the scales, too. The creme-colored ones are a delicacy.

I've heard that carp doesn't make for a good pet either. If you touch one you could get carp pet burns.

IMO it's FAR more newsworthy than Paris F*cking Hilton.

Normally I would agree, but it was rediscovered in 1938 and I did not see any new information in the article.

They have found MASSIVE bio-diversity just recently including sea liles that move SUPER fast. Thats a way newer discovery.

Not saying Paris is news worthy, just that the fishy is pretty old news, interesting, but old.

Might want to re-think the scale of your response.
