I cannot train my dog Mathman not to poop in the house, but an aquarist named Lindsay at the New England Aquarium has a Lumpfish named Blondie to do tricks (no flaming hoops yet).
Note that this is not an April Fool's joke. If it were, Blondie would also be performing Under the Sea in its entirety.
Learn the secrets of fish training from the master herself and impress stoned friends with your goldfish wrangling!

The joke's on you. She not only performs under the sea... she remixes it and sells it as a double CD box set.
I recently came across your blog and have been reading along. I thought I would leave my first comment. I don't know what to say except that I have enjoyed reading. Nice blog. I will keep visiting this blog very often.

Well, Blondie is pretty good for a lumpfish, but just can't compete with a real fishlete. Check out the world's smartest goldfish, Comet. In addition to playing basketball, Comet can also play soccer, slalom, and dance the limbo.

The ships were cleverly disguised, even to the point where crewmen would parade on deck as passengers in civilian clothing, so that the attacked would come in close and discover too late that the ship was armed. It was a fairly effective strategy, and would be even more so with small boats that are more vulnerable than a submarine.
