My wife forward this to me, this fish is being discussed on all sorts of email lists but this comment was too good to pass up.

>What I find remarkable about the Fearsome Ravenous Walking Fish is that the
>sole reason (no pun intended) for their destructiveness is that they're
>non-native.
>
>Without predators, they devour other fish.
>
>SO... where these fish came from, not only is their behavior normal, but
>predation keeps their numbers in check.
>
>Which means... China has fish that are EVEN MEANER THAN THESE ONES.
>
>Okay, that seals it: no swimming in China for me, ever.
