Aww
eel on the rainbow bridge is cute. Pet snakes must climb it too, and frogs and lizards.

For that matter, how did only one of two eels in the well get “boiled”?

“The eel received no burial, but is in a freezer awaiting expert analysis.”
It should be sent to an eleemosynary institution.

Bad translation. I went and looked at the original article. “Kolat” outfoxed Google Translate, but it’s pretty clear from context that it means “decomposed” not “deoxycholate” (Google’s attempt) and certainly not “boiled”.

Would we like an eeeeeeel thread, or would that be too slimy?

I am doubting the veracity that it was the worlds oldest European eel.Would you doubt the veracity that it was the world's oldest known European eel?

Would you doubt the veracity that it was the world's oldest known European eel? No, nor would I have made my comment if that was what the story stated. But as I read the story it stated as fact that it was the world's oldest.

Seems perfect for us.
I haven’t checked to see if there’s an eel in my well, but I know that my well isn’t as old as that.
I do also know that there’s an extra valve down there.

Bad translation. I went and looked at the original article. Kolat outfoxed Google Translate, but its pretty clear from context that it means decomposed not deoxycholate (Googles attempt) and certainly not boiled. I suspected as much, but couldn't resist having some fun with it. Either way, blech.

We don’t have a well, and if we did, it would have arsenic in it, which would probably be bad for the eels.

Yeah... No one still around that witnessed the birth of the eel in 1859.

"No one still around that witnessed the birth of the eel in 1859." And no one kinky enough to watch that sort of thing before 1961.

And why does the picture of the eel remind me of Michigan J. Frog?
