    There is a fish called a Tunny, but we seem to have overlooked the more common:

    Gene Tuna

    How the hell did Gene Tuna slip through the net? I assumed he’d already been caught.

    That’s some BIG GAME fishing right there, reeling in Mr Pollack.

    I have his “In The Aquarium With…” series of books. Great reading.

    Since our own @cross_trainer was on hiatus when this thread (and similar ones including fruits and vegetables … not sure if we got to birds or not), I thought I’d bring it back and summon him for his input.

    Maybe he’ll drop a line in the water.
