A colleague has just sent me a video. It shows a man (in a lab coat) taking a fish (possibly a flounder) out of a freezer. It's on ice, and clearly frozen. The man next puts the fish in a tank of water. He does this very carefully, but when he lets go it falls to the bottom of the tank with a distinct 'clunk.'
Seven minutes later, the fish is flipping around and seems quite happy. Well, quite happy for a flatfish that's in a small glass tank of water and would rather prefer to be somewhere else.
It's an extraordinary video. I'm not quite sure what I'm supposed to do with it, in part because the voice-over is in Japanese. Sadly, I don't think I should post it. Boo!

Spam that may be, but I’m leaving it in. Fantastic!
My word. I thought it was Nige pissing around (Lee Tie my Hand?) but it looks pretty genuine, insofar as spam is genuine.
