Little snippet on NPR this AM mentioned a three-pound
goldfish being caught in a Michigan lake. Goldfish (a/k/a
koi, right?) can apparently grow much larger than they do in
a household aquarium...
So what happens when little Timmy lets his goldfish go into a
recreational lake near a nuclear
power plant, where an
unscrupulous contractor has been disposing of low-level
radioactive waste?
Yes, it's JAWS - but with a GOLDFISH.

Bubbles been drinking too much ;-) |

The pitch: It's Pirahna 3D meets Memento! |
|
| |
Oh, come on. Surely you realise that radioactive waste won't make animals grow to enormous sizes, right? |
|
| |
Everyone knows it's cosmic radiation that does that. Radioactive waste only makes things glow in the dark. |
|
| |
So, you go swimming in Michigan Lake (Lake Michigan,
perhaps?) and you are accosted by a rhino-sized, green,
glowing "goldfish"? |
|

I'd start drinking bottled water and nothing else, if I were
you. Sounds like you've watched too many B movies from
the 60s. |
|
| |
Either that or get a bigger boat. |

A: The goldfish enjoys the warmer water, and has an
ever so slightly increased risk of developing cancer. |

And of growing three eyes. I know it's true... I saw it on
The Simpsons. |
|
| |
Yes, obviously the three eyes. You didn't say this
was in Norfolk. |

I always wondered why Clarkson looks the way he does. |
