Ptooey

So I'm looking at this photo of the fountain at the Huntington Gardens. Lovely fountain, right? Pretty garden, nice statue, blah blah. It's so idyllic, any second now a unicorn will come along and nibble the grass.

But something bugs me. A question: do fish spit?

Fortunately I have at my fingertips a marvelous tool called the internet. I google "fish spit" and up comes fishspit.com. It is no help whatsoever. (I think they should change the subheading to "don't expectorate too much" but hey--it's not my website.)

I read other links about spit. They tell me what spitting is. I know what spitting is. I'm not going to link you to definitions of spitting.

Then Eureka! I find a video about the Archer fish. I hope you'll click the link and watch it. It's like Finding Nemo meets The Matrix. Indeed, fish do spit.
