Re: [GSAS-Member] The worlds smallest fish

[John Ruhland <john@drruhland.com>]

What is most important depends on who you speak with (or what language 
you speak). In my opinion, the most important part is one that they 
left out - that it speaks fluent French. Just because the French people 
don't like our president's neo-colonial wars for petroleum, first they 
rename French Fries, and now this!

Yahoo news is reporting that scientists have found the world's smallest 
fish in Thailand. It wins the prize by 0.1 mm, being 7.9 mm in length. 
The fish has other unique qualifications: it lives in acidic water (ph 
3), the males have fins that appear to be able to grasp objects, and 
have a head that is unprotected by a skeleton." From the article: 
"[Maurice Kottelat] said the record of finding the world's smallest 
fish was not important, preferring to focus on what he said was 
"scientifically significant." "What's important is finding a complete 
vertebrae in a body so small," he said.
