'Finding Nemo' just a movie, sewage treatment warns
Associated Press
Published June 6, 2003
COSTA MESA, Calif. -- Kids be warned: Flushing your pet fish down the drain
will not send it safely into the ocean as depicted in the new
computer-animated movie ``Finding Nemo.''
A company that manufactures equipment used to process sewage issued a news
release Thursday warning that drain pipes do lead to the ocean - eventually
- but first the fluid goes through powerful machines that ``shred solids
into tiny particles.''
``In truth, no one would ever find Nemo and the movie would be called
'Grinding Nemo,''' wrote the JWC Environmental company, which makes the
trademarked ``Muffin Monster'' shredding pumps.
In the unlikely event Nemo survived the deadly machines, the company added,
he would probably be killed by the chlorine disinfection.
