Walking catfish!! WTF... Never heard of them

[brxndxn]

My girlfriend and I, after a night of drinking, got dropped off in the parking lot of our apartment complex. When I got out of the car, something bumped my foot.. I look down, and it was a fvcking catfish! In the middle of the parking lot, this catfish was 'walking' like its fins were arms and it had no legs. It was crazy looking..

I was like OMG WTF BIZARRE.. Then I saw another.. I picked them up and threw them in the pond (which was like 100 yards away).

I firmly believe in evolution now. Geez..

It may have been better if you had handed these evolutionaries their Darwin award.
It is a voracious eater which consumes food rapidly and this habit makes it a particularly harmful invasive species.

Wow that's crazy, I would have freaked if it bumped into my leg.

So, I guess you would put a lawn chair in the back of your pickup and drop a fishing line in the middle of a parking lot?

I don't like that. At all.

Never heard of them? There are schools that don't mention them? Oh wait... these days, there are a lot of schools that have been forced to teach creationism... Something like walking catfish would just confuse the students.

The walking catfish was imported to Florida, reportedly from Thailand, in the early 1960s for the aquarium trade. The first introductions apparently occurred in the mid-1960s when adult fish imported as brood stock escaped, either from a fish farm in northeastern Broward County or from a truck transporting brood fish between Dade and Broward counties.

Hahaha! I can just picture these guys "escaping" by simply walking out of their holding tank!

What is it with you guys? Can't you ever contribute to a thread, especially a fun one like this, without crapping politics and religion into it? :|
