"...they called it an oar fish because when you see it you hit it with an oar"

"Chace said it is unclear how the oarfish died because there were no marks in it."

Clearly, another victim of the heartless Tea-Party conservatives in the House and their evil Government Shutdown.

It died because of humans, I’m sure. It probably left a note.

Global warming victim, obviously.

"...in a couple of months he plans to dig up the remains and mount the skeleton."

Heh, heh-heh - he said "mount"! Heh-heh!

Man allegedly sold deer, raccoons to Illinois eateries
By

KNOX, Ind. — A Chicago man sold deer, raccoons and other wildlife to markets and restaurants in that city’s Chinatown district for use in meals, Indiana conservation officers said Tuesday.

Alexander Moy, 47, was arrested Monday in Hamlet, about 80 miles from Chicago in northwestern Indiana, on a charge of illegally selling wildlife, Lt. Tom Torsell of the Indiana Department of Natural Resources said.

The arrest followed a two-year investigation during which Moy bought wildlife, including turtles and fish, from undercover officers, Torsell said.

It was probably bullied by a school of paddle fish and committed suicide.

Either that or the oar died of an overdose.

I’m not certain if oar fish have actual bones or have a large amount of cartilage in their skeletal structures...but if it is cartilage, Mr. Chace will be disappointed in a couple of months.

OARbamacare?

Sequestration killed him.
(that and he wasn’t paid a ‘livable wage’.)

if Asians want to eat raccoon, why not let them.....people used to live on food such as raccoon, squirrel,woodchuck, etc...but we’ve gotten too “sophisticated”....

[cherry]

the story relates that Jeff Chace found the fish, but then there is a reference to “she”...so which is it?.....sloppy writing I suppose...

Don't forget the possum stew!

[Conspiracy Guy]

Global warming caused by George W Bush killed it.
