0. Collapse

1.An example is best :
This insane example is from the official US IRS manual .

And so forth . In every country .
I especially liked
Crewmembers
Corporate Officers
Spouse as a crewmember
Husband and wife as partners
Children as crewmembers
Etc
How did they miss Spouse as bait ?
They must be slipping .
It goes on-and-on .
To catch a fish you need a horde of remora .
As Ayn Rand noted , eventually Atlas Shrugged .
2.The relevance :
After the spill , expect good fishing .
Has it happened ?
Yes .
Good data is very difficult to come by , as all official agencies
carefully avoid actual catches .
So , I have to rely on anectodal evidence for now .
3.More than you want to know .
And the fishing is monstrously good . The images below all show large
juvenile aquatics .
4.And the weird mutants :
This is an actual large critter . and the scales are Kevlar .
Notice the blades on the sides . They are not serrated . This
means they are very sharp and hard .
The structure of the beastie is segmented and very flexible
. Which means the blades do not saw , but cut . Very sharp and hard .
In other words , a Kevlar analogue ,
This is a formidable bug underwater . Like a 3-dimensional
buzz-saw .
Courtesy of Craig Venter .
Expect many more .
5.Sneaky suspicion :
The really serious one .
The Lionfish is hunting you .
The spines are better than Kevlar . A commercial opportunity
.
6. One of the unintended conseqenses of Craig Venter’s intervention in
the Caribbean oil enterprise .
7. Actually , he can be quite proud . This is a very elegant
organism .
There is one wee problem .
The armament is defensive . This means there is an offensive
organism out there that eats Lionfish for breakfast .
If these take up Kevlar and other genes , humans might have
a serious problem . Like extinction .
See ?
Fishing relaxes you .

Andre
