Invasion of the Snakefish

CNN reported the discovery of a monstrous snakefish in some lake in Maryland on CNN's "Science & Space" page; so, I can only assume, without reading the article (the president doesn't read his daily briefings, why should I read the whole article) that the snakefish is from outer space.

The other day, some guy with a pet shop was arrested for possession of snakefish, four of them. I'm thinking that the pet shop owner is most likely an alien. Why would anyone want one of these ... things ... around. It's not really a snake because it can breathe in the water. It's not really a fish because it can crawl around on land for two, three, four days and breathe air.

Further evidence that it is from outer space is the fact that the pesky scientists who caught the thing cannot tell if it is male or female. Or how it got into the lake. Or when it got into the lake. I submit that this is significant evidence of its origin from outer space. In fact, I am of the opinion that snakefish and all other fish are from outer space. The stares I get from the supposedly dead fish as I walk hurriedly by the fish stand at the West Side Market can only be part of some biological wireless surveillance system that beams images to aliens in outer space.

Of course, I could be wrong. The snakefish might have arisen from the ashes of a top secret nukuler blast four-and-a-half years ago just off the shore of the westernmost island, Attu, in the Aleutian archipelago. But only those lunatic conspiracy nuts would believe something like that.

I hear that snakefish actually orginated from North Royalton. Something about having a whole nest of alien freaks around there.....
