And Now For Something Completely Different.

Synchronized fish or fun with magnets?
Fu Yandong, a Chinese magician has sparked outrage from animal rights groups with a trick in which he gets goldfish to swim in sync. They suspect that Fu uses magnets embedded inside the fish.

The trick involves six fish in a shallow tank on a covered table, who swim in formation at Fu's command.

Fu has so far refused to reveal the secret.

"My fish," he wrote on his microblog, are "living happily".

But his assurances have failed to quell the controversy.

In an open letter on Monday, 53 Chinese non-governmental organisations urged TV stations not to broadcast Fu's act in the future, and demanded the trick not be repeated during CCTV's Lantern Festival special.

The groups expressed fears the trick could lead to animals being tortured if viewers tried to copy it.

Let's Fly A Kite!

,

This video comes to us from Richard, a long time reader and wahine admirer up in Canada.
(who waits with eager anticipation for the ice to thaw.)

note to Richard: drink rum my friend, Spring is around the corner.

"This is the first flight of the kite cam from Hacienda II - My Sabre 34MKII Sailboat. We flew it on the 3rd sudo-annual 'Cookie Cruise' -- this year to Frenchman's Bay on Lake Ontario. Winds were about 10-15kts. The camera is a GoProHD mounted to a servo controlled KAP rig and a Flowform kite."

Hacienda II is a 1989 Sabre 34 Targa owned by Richard Peirce and Bonnie Del Bianco. Their home port is THSC, Toronto, Canada. [Brrrrr!]
