Cod eats phone, fisherman catches cod, phone returned to owner
Andrew Cheatle is a lucky chap. He lost his phone on a beach a couple of weeks back and assumed it’d been lost at sea. On a shopping trip to replace the handset, however, his girlfriend’s phone rang. She handed it to him, saying it was some guy going on about a cod.
On the end of the line was fisherman Glen Kerley. He’d found a handset in the belly of a cod, and figured he’d try and return it to its owner. After going to meet him, he was reunited with his (rather battered) handset, and after it dried out, he was amazed to find it worked perfectly.
So what was the handset that survived a week in a fish? I wasn’t sure, so I consulted the masses on Twitter. The wonderful @lovelychaos was first with the answer – it’s a Nokia 1600 – a handset designed for use in developing countries. Well, I guess it’s proved its worth!
"Deepest ever" living fish has been found and filmed – Celebrity Fish Big Brother reportedly in the works
A team from the UK and Japan has managed to track down and film the deepest ever living fish. They found the 17-strong shoal chillin’ (literally) in a trench in the Pacific, 7.7km down from the surface. One of the scientists, Monty Priede from the University of Aberdeen, described the fish as “surprisingly cute”.
Silverfish aquarium – space age design for your goldfish
Does our goldfish care about its tank? I doubt it – as long as there’s room to swim, food, some fake coral and a plastic shipwreck, your average goldfish couldn’t be happier. But you care what your fish tank looks like – and that’s why this Silverfish aquarium will probably shift a few units.
Fish bowl gets an update – and a plant holder
Pity the poor old goldfish – it might have a short memory, which is just as well with such a dull environment. Things could be different swimming around in the combined fish bowl and plant holder by Joe Doucet.
