Why Men Are Superior to Fish

By Alex in Funny, Pictures, Science & Tech on Dec 6, 2008 at 2:36 pm


Got to love those Russian biologists! Dr. M.A. Menzbier (yes, a real person – an ornithologist and zoogeographer, actually) has found the reason why men are superior than fish, as published in the Nov 1931 issue of Modern Mechanix: Link

    Well DUH! Fish have acuired tastes for worms witch are land creatures. And if you saw a floating pink Gummy worm. Would you eat it?

    Oh Crap ! There’s a shark behind me. Sure am glad I’m not a fish, I’d have never seen it coming.

    Guess that makes owls superior to man, then. (At least they would likely know how to spell "which").

    Eyes on the side of your head gives a larger field of vision without needing to turn the head. (Of course you also need the ability to focus the eye anywhere in that field of vision, for example a chameleon)

    So I am at the animalia because I can shake my head "no"? So can my wife which is why the trait will not be passed to another generation.

    I would probably be more convincing if I could type better than a fish but apparently I cannot. I meant to say "I am at the zenith of animalia" but was too busy showing off by shaking my head to type it properly.
