I´m quite sure everyone here knows Blinky, the three eyed radioactive mutant fish.



Well, a group of fishermen caught it´s IRL cousin in a lake in Argentina.
And YES, the lake is right next to a nuclear power plant.

Quote:
"We were fishing and we took the surprise to remove this rare unit. As it were at night then we did not realize, but later it watched it to one with a lantern and it saw that it had a third eye", related Julian Zmutt, one of the fishermen.


Zmutt assured that it is the first time that happens to him and that the finding began to worry to the population because "it begins to speak of the nuclear power station".
^translated per Babel Fish


In case this isn´t fake, I´d really like to know WTF?!?

That third eye looks kinda glued on...

Yeah as cool as it would be for there to be a real life "blinky" I don't think it's very likely for a fish to cleanly mutate a fully functional third eye. More than likely if a fish got zapped by radioactive run-off from a nuke plant it would suffer from all sorts of weird ugly tumors and other life threatening problems. At any rate the chances of something positive happening from such an exposure would be almost nil. *shrugs*

Didn't click the link, but did it say anything about it actually being functional?

Seem to be missing the most important issue. How does it taste?


The first step in being sane is to admit that you are insane.

According to the article at discovery.com they didn't have the guts to find out. They submitted it for testing and then will have it preserved.

I don't know but the plant owner, Senór Montere Burno, lost his election prospects when he spat it out.


And mutations happen all the time. How many two-headed, multi-faced or abnormal-limbed make those lovely wierd-world type articles? Just recently saw a three-eyed, two-mouthed cat make the local news.
