Goldfish can see infrared radiation that is invisible to us.
African lungfish enclose themselves in a mud tunnel and, after their lake has dried up, can live for years buried in the mud, breathing air and waiting for the rains to return.
Gurry sharks eat polar bears and can live up to 200 years.
One Puffer Fish contains enough poison to kill 30 people.
When Anglerfish mate, they melt into each other and share their bodies forever.
The Goliath Tigerfish eats small crocodiles.
The Salema Porgy is a species of fish that can cause hallucinations when eaten. In Ancient Rome it was consumed as a recreational drug.
The Hawaiian state fish is the Humuhumunukunukuapua'a, or, Reef Triggerfish.
the first couple years after, yeah. but then i kind of missed it when i started forgetting stuff, so it's kind of a classic now.
plus, i started using it for code. they let me send messages to a few people in the other Houses, so i wouldn't go batshit, but they read everything. so african lungfish was 'sorry, i was in ISO', gurry shark was 'hapsburg is having a raid', salema porgy was 'i'm too drugged up to make sense right now' and humuhumunukunukuapua'a was 'i'm bored'.
well, for the first year i was there and just had that book, i was telling everyone fish facts because i was bored and i wanted them to suffer with me. so i just kept telling them fish facts. i just also told them in person what it meant.

no subject
My experience with both is at a minimal so I can't really compare them.

Not a bad plan though.
no subject
its kind of true though
i do like fish
and goats, kind of. because they're assholes. im pretty sure that's all god put in the coding when he made goats. 'be assholes'.
no subject
I will agree on goats though. I'm not really sad they are nearly extinct.
no subject
what, really? that sucks. [ he liked that they were assholes :T he felt they had kindred spirits ]
no subject
Nearly. I would miss the meat though. They still have a chance as long as we get Wall Maria back.

the walls have names?
no subject
Maria, Rose, and Sina. People worship them. They can't just call them 'walls'.
no subject
people worship walls

It's a cult full of idiots. It's just as corrupt as the goverment.
no subject
yeah no shit. what'd the do when one of the walls fell?
no subject
They freaked. Thought God left them, but the ones inside of Wall Sina were still praying like it was their job.
no subject
christ. its a bunch of fucking brick, what'd they expect?
no subject
They think it will bring God from Heaven to stomp the Titans out, or something like that. I honestly don't pay much attention to them.
