so long, and thanks for all the fish So if reports are true, we'd better stop eating fish, because they're all going to run out within fifty years. No more fish and chips, no more fish fingers, no more cockles-and-mussels-hawaii-five-o. It's quite the warning. As our planet gets more and more overcrowded, and demand for food rises and rises, it's inevitable there will be shortages - for most of the world today there are food shortages, it's just that we ignore those people because those countries are poor and 'the West' is rich. However. The first thing that struck me when I heard this news was how are the Sicilian mafia going to communicate with each other if all the fish are dead? How will they send their important, urgent (and almost undecipherable to anyone who hasn't seen the godfather) messages? Maybe they'll have to pop other things in the mailbox, such as chickens or rabbits. "Eh, Toni, it means Luca's a-sleeping with the bunnies!" See, it just doesn't have the same ring to it. There's going to be a lot of unhappy mafiosi in fifty years. We'd better stop over-fishing.
