Perhaps, but her eggs are delicious.

Yuck! I remember being told in my biology class many, many years ago that the average female is born with about 100,000 eggs. I wonder if they each have a little lion imprinted on the shell?

But, have you noticed how many folk are decidely fishy.....?

Alex Salmon[d], Nicola Sturgeon, Jackson Pollock (painter), Feargal Sharkey (N. Irish singer), T.J. Bass (author of Half past Human), Robert Trout (US broadcaster), Salmon P Chase (abolishionist lawyer and US senator),Thomas Herring (former Archbishop of Canterbury), Thomas Gordon Hake (19th centruy doctor and poet), Harold Roach (film producer at the beginning of the 20th century), Zebulon Montgomery Pike (1779-1813, an American military officer and explorer who mapped much of the Louisiana Purchase), Satyajit Ray (1921-1992, born in Calcutta. His first film "Pather Panchali" won him international acclaim). The list is as deep as the ocean.

Oh, and we mustn't forget controversial weather forecaster, Michael Fish who shot to fame in October 1987 with...."Earlier on today, apparently, a woman rang the BBC and said she heard there was a hurricane on the way... well, if you're watching, don't worry, there isn't!".
Eh???? Half the country's knickers left washing lines at 100 miles an hour and ended up on the rooftops of Helsinki, and in addition to the destuction of 15 million other trees the English town of Sevenoaks became Oneoak overnight!
