Is that it's young Dennis? Some of the mothers do that.
Yeah scrap that. It's too big, it's eating it. Nature is horrific.

My faith in the animal kingdom is restored. Notice the male of the species (cat fish) does this.
( Not for egalitarian reasons though if you have read the Selfish Gene)

“mouthbreeder, any fish that breeds its young in the mouth. Examples include certain catfishes, cichlids, and cardinal fishes. The male of the sea catfish Galeichthys felis places up to 50 fertilized eggs in its mouth and retains them until they are hatched and the young are two or more weeks old.”

Fish in the mouth of mouth brooders are much smaller:

A better term is mouth brooder.
They don't breed in the mouth (that I know of) but eggs/fry are there for protection (that's brooding) after the breeding.

Sperm bank - the only bank in the world where "frozen assets" are a good thing...

And you can't write checks. Or make nightly deposits ( without getting arrested).

Or is that a maths joke? If it is I don't get it!

Or is that a maths joke? If it is I don't get it!

The picture shows
$e^\rm{i \pi}$, which is -1
but the text evaluates
$e^\rm{2 \pi}$, which is 535.49...

So I think there's something wrong with the check. Or the joke.

A farmer had 196 cows in his field.

Spoiler: How many did he have when he got them to the barn?

When he rounded them up, he had 200.

There's some good Internet history behind this. This was in response to an Internet meme/phenomenon for its time (a time before even Facebook was particularly popular).

By the way, the cheque/check signer is Randall Munroe, the very same Randall Munroe as the author of webcomic xkcd that we all know and love. Munroe wasn't involved in the actual incident, but the image of the check/cheque was his humorous response to it.

[The text under the check/cheque in the image is wrong. That must have been added by somebody else. The original joke is that the amount of the check is for 0.002 - 1 + 1 dollars = $0.002. Whoever wrote the text underneath misinterpreted the i as 2.]

The incident -- a recorded phone call -- is where Verizon customer service does not know the difference between 0.002 dollars and 0.002 cents.

Here's an article about it:

And here is the whole customer service phone call which was recorded. Fair warning, it's all of funny, frustrating, and infuriating, altogether.

I (or someone else) may have posted this one before, but I think it's so funny it's worth repeating:

Serenity Now! I had to spend around 5 months trying to cancel the automatic renewals on some web hosting I never actually used.

Well now the phrase " I come from the land down under" gets a new meaning doesn't it ?

Apparently this is the same ship that was told to "Go F**h yourself!".

Apparently this is the same ship that was told to "Go F**h yourself!".

I guess that Ukraine got tired of waiting for that to happen and took care of it themselves.

Like my dad used to say, sometimes you have to wait for good things to happen...
Stuff like marriage
True love
Good job, or

From what I hear this was done with a Ukrainian missile (they had some serious defense bureau's back in the USSR left over to them)

It was their home made (Ukrainian) Neptun anti-ship missile, a modification of a previous Russian weapon. more explosive, more rocket power. They were developing it for several years and just got the first useful products. I think it has something like a 60 mile range.
Bad weather may have helped them (two missiles) get by the ship's anti-missile defenses.
May have had electronic surveillance help from a NATO electronics plane, in finding the ship.

I have been waiting for anti-ship missiles to get those pesky Russian ships that were pummeling coastal sites. The ship was also involved in providing sophisticated radar and anti-aircraft coverage over areas of Ukraine.

It seems the Moskva may not have sunk, but is being towed back to port.

Seems like we need a dedicated Ukraine thread once more...
