Signs of the Fishpocalypse
And here we thought it would be frogs:
An estimated one million fish turned up dead Tuesday in a Southern California marina, creating a floating feast for pelicans, gulls and other sea life and a stinky mess for harbor authorities.
The sardines apparently depleted the water of oxygen and suffocated after getting lost in the marina, officials said.
But here’s our favorite part:
“All indications are it’s a naturally occurring event,” said Andrew Hughan, a California Fish and Game spokesman at the scene.
Yes, because here in California, a million dead fish wash ashore all the time.

Julianne Moore to Play Sarah Palin in ‘Game Change’
so who is playing Obie? I say Chris Rock.
@Right Reverend Benedick: It’s 72 degrees right now in Santa Monica, clear skies, mild surf. No fish kills, although the grunion get frisky every now and then.
The jealousy on this thread is palpable. I will have to go for a bike ride on the beach in my riding shorts later to clear my head.
@Capt Howdy: Jeffrey Wright springs to mind. Excellent actor, similar build and complexion, close in age, but his face just isn’t right, plus he has a receding hairline.
A film about Sarah Palin? WTF? Julie Taymor is free. (P.S. Julianne Moore can’t act)
