>Every year people throw hundreds of bikes into the channels. Why should the serious-minded Dutch do such a thing if not to cater for the need of their fish ?< Maybe they are under the influence of all those drugs so freely available in Amsterdam?  ...maybe this is how they are able to communicate enough with the fish to know that they need bicycles? (stepping into seriousness for one brief moment: Jackie, yes, there are people everywhere who are lacking necessities. That is one of the reasons those of us who have them should stop once in a while and think about 'need' versus 'want'. My post was flippant, but any punch it had came from the fact that much of the time we don't really bother to distinguish and this time I did. ..oh my God, I wanted to be serious not pious, but I think I failed!)

The last fish I spoke to had no revolutionary tendencies.
Yes, I imagine they would find it difficult to pedal!

From "The Further Adventures of Nick Danger, Third Eye":
'It all came back to me like a good snort of scotch.'
'Suddenly it hit me like the hot kiss at the end of a wet fist.'
- by the Firesign Theater
If I may skirt the scatalogical, here's a quote from Drill Sergeant Hendrix, whom we called "The Sergeant Hendrix Experience". You may think it's a metaphor. It's not:
"Charlie Battery, you been jerkin' me off - and I'm gonna come all over you!"
He really was one.

Ah, but this group staying on topic would be as likely as a
fish riding a bicycle.

>..as likely as a fish riding a bicycle< Now you are jumping to conclusions again, and making unwarranted assumptions. Who said the fish needed the bike for riding? (my neighbours most certainly have bought their bikes for showing off).

Thus spoke Zarathustra?
Maybe they've been framed
