fish fish fishlots of these are about fish...anyway...
my girlfriend bought some fish from a pretty crappy fish store; a private collection of a hag in a thrift shop. little tetra-type fishes. anyway, we headed to her place, and luckily she had a fish tank, so they were placed inside and much content. however, we needed a place to put them, and i suggested that a good spot would be next to the window, and in such a manner that the curtains could be pulled around the fish tank. it didn't seem to be a problem at the time....
anyway, the next morning, we awoke at about 1 pm, and to our dismay the fish were dead when we found them. i suggested we put the fish on the window so they could have natural light, but the window faced east, and the curatin blocked enough heat to trap them in a nice comfy oven, practically. so, the fish passed away after the water got too hot, being 'boiled' alive. she was pissed, but we did give them a nice proper burial by dumping their bodies out the window, 5 stories up onto a patch of ivy that also contains almost anytihng known to mankind.

At home away from uniWe have 2 siamese cats, the most child like creatures ive ever know, and there nuts.
Take Suki, my crazy princess, for example. If we're in a room with the door shut and not wanting the cats in (eg, when we're trying to sleep cause they attak your hair) You hear her wailing for about 5 minutes and you know whats going to happen
......silence
*acending volume sound of running cat getting close*
BANG!!!!!!!!!
followed by desparate scratching and a clump sound before....."mew?"
She runs and leaps as high up to the shut dor as possible, desp[arate clawing to stay up which is impossible before crashing in a heap and giving a pitaful meaow in which we feel mean and let her in for about 10 seconds when we chuck her out after pouncing on my head.
Shes dont it all her life
My sisters hamster Spatz (it had white feet)lived for over 5 years which is very old for a hamster. During its life he was dropped (the day he was bourght cause she felt sorry for it), hurled across the room hitting the breakfastroom wall when my sister thought it would be funny to put him on the shoulder of my godmother who was terrified of rodents, fed everything you can imagein like chocolate caramels, cork, popcorn, escaped 3 times and farthered 7 babies. He also got this terrible cyst or something over his eye when my sister was on german exchange with the school and my mum and eye stayed up all night cleaning it to keep it open that made him live for another year.
What a guy

Little fishiesBored on a Saturday!! Five mates, a pet shop, a few quid, someone with an Oscar(Piranha thing),
Starve the oscar then pop to the pet shop and buy five of the smallest brightly coloured fish in the place, lets say blue. Your friends all get different colours. Sit round the oscar tank and plop one of each coloured fish in the tank. the last one eaten wins. this is great fun till its not hungry anymore.
You can also justify it to yourself - its natural.
