I can't view that page from here at work. It is blocked and says "adult, news". Well, we certainly can't have our employees seeing news. That would be terrible. Is the minnow naked? Maybe that's it.

Trying to access naked fish at the workplace? Shame on you!

It's a cute little (big) fish, and it's amusing that there exists a record for "largest minnow", lol. That guy should be very proud.

 

[Ben]

that's cool
I'm glad he threw it back in, now maybe in future generations there will be more larger minnows

Hmmm, on page 3 The Sun features a topless HUMAN female. It says "click to see more". That's probably why it's blocked. I've heard that's pretty typical of British tabloids though.

I've never seen a minnow. That guy looks like a serial killer. . O wait thats the mirror.Sorry. JK . Interesting size though, I heard that minnows are the small fish...

That's it. When I got home and was able to look at it, I scanned the page to see what might have caused the block. I saw the Page 3 girls. Topless females would definitely trigger the block. They just don't want us to have any fun at work.

Back on topic. It doesn't say what species fish it is. I mean, the term "minnow" is pretty generic. People fish with minnows which are generally nothing more than the same feeders people buy for their fish.

Wow...I thought you guys were being sarcastic at first about the minnow...

 

[grumpymole]

You are correct it dosn't say the species. that's because there is only one species
native to the UK and that is Phoxinus phoxinus

That would explain it then.

What you probably don't know, is that The Sun, page 3 and all the balatantly politically biased towards labour articles notwithstanding, is the UK's No 1 selling newspaper. *shudder*

The largest minnow I ever saw was at a fishery near Hoover Dam.

The Colorado Squawfish. I was told it was around 5-6 feet and weighed in at a whooping 85 pounds.
Too bad thier endangered....it was wicked awesome.
