Unlike Benson the spawn-filled wonder carp from across the pond, the US has a 48-pound, rainbow trout that is suspected to be JUICED. Saskatchewan fisherman Sean Konrad hauled it out of Lake Diefenbaker (say that none times fast) where genetically engineered trout that have ESCAPED from a fish farm almost a decade ago are chilling. "Technically known as triploids, they're designed with three sets of chromosomes, making them sterile and channeling energies normally spent reproducing towards growth." AND ALSO MAYBE REVENGE?
Um, yeah... Hi, isn't this the setup of 'Dark Angel'? Does this concern anyone else? So, basically we're seriously pissing off these giant sea creatures that we've genetically toyed with TEN YEARS AGO. They're so going to mutate and be able to breed like Jurassic Park AND since this guy broke the fishing record formerly held by his TWIN BROTHER (also, weirdly creepy) it's going to go down like Jaws. With a maybe a little Host thrown in. I should go read a book.
Oh dear.
The US? US?!
You lose the internet for the week.
Shh. She's sorta foreign.
Still, it's sloppy.
Mind you, you guys are more than welcome to the prairies. Take Manitoba too.
"Dee-Fen-Baker" How hard is that? :)
RE: that giant fish? Wow. Just Wow.
More on the obscenely good looking fish monger please.
i like to pretend that night fishing/spelunking flashlight thing is a doctor's head reflector. oooooh! He looks like Dr. Sean McNamara from Nip/Tuck in Hot.
This requires some on the scene investigation...
I'll be reporting from in his pants.
'Their pants' Goons, he's a twin.
optimistic, kitten.
shhhhhh reading. also capitulating.
Strapping Saskatchewan twin brothers fishing out in the woods? Didn’t Bruce Weber already cover this a decade ago?
They're not having sex!? Good god these things are going to be AAAANNNGRY!!!
Are these fish being trained for soldiering?
Also, needs more laser
Want to try caviar the size of marbles?
The movie you are looking for is John Sayles' (yes, that John Sayles) Piranha. It's okay It's no John Sayles' Alligator. No wedding scene.
No, it's Reny Harlin's "Deep Blue Sea," starring LL Cool J. Plot summary from IMDB: "Doctors in an underwater laboratory discover a chemical in the brains of sharks capable of reviving human brain cells. Using gene therapy the doctors create sharks with larger brain masses as a way to speed up the production of the life saving antidote. The result is a breed of Mako that is bigger, stronger, smarter, faster and more fierce then anything man has seen before. The sharks gain the ability to reason and turn on their masters resulting in an all or nothing fight to the finish between man and the ultimate predator."
A fun and ridiculous movie, perhaps most memorable for LL's ridiculous soundtrack song, "My Hat Is Like A Shark's Fin."
A US lake named after a Canadian Prime Minister did seem suspect, didn't it? Though in the spirit of cross-cultural understanding, some Army Corps of Engineers lakes in Arkansas could and should be renamed after foreigns. Except Beaver Lake, that one's pretty funny.
I'm fairly certain that GM fish have not yet been approved by the FDA. What The Shit?
Orange shit.
A variety of mutants in the most recent Astonishing X-Men storyline were triploids.
I'm just sayin.
