News.com.au: Customers at the Sky Port diner near Schenectady came up with the idea of a creating a fish sling after Dick the 17-year-old goldfish fell ill in November and had difficulty swimming. Dick could barely move across the bottom of his fish tank located behind the counter.

Dick was likely suffering from swim bladder disease and prescribed a diet of cooked peas to be hand fed to Dick three times a day. To remedy Dick’s swimming problem, several customers devised a sling made up of fishing bobbers, drinking straws, gauze and string. When the fish is placed in the sling, he’s able to swim like normal.

Sherman said customers find it relaxing to sit at the counter and watch Dick in his tank. “Everybody’s rooting for him,” she said on Wednesday. “He’s the topic of conversation at the Sky Port.”

Giant jellyfish with bodies the size of washing machines have turned up off the central coast of Japan in their largest numbers for decades.

“Toothing” is a new craze where strangers on trains, buses, in bars and even supermarkets hook up for illicit meetings using messages sent via the latest in phone technology.

It is made possible by Bluetooth technology which allows users to send phone contacts, pictures and messages to other Bluetooth-enabled equipment over a range of about 10 metres (yards). Users discovered they could send anonymous messages to people they didn’t know with Bluetooth equipment, spawning a craze dubbed “bluejacking”. Potential toothers begin by sending out a random greeting — usually “Toothing?”.

The latest dance craze – Musical Canine Freestyle
In order to dance with your dog(s) to music, there are some simple basic procedures that you should follow. First, you start by selecting a musical composition to which you would like to dance. It may be one particular piece or you may edit several different pieces of music to create your own special music. Once you have the music, the second step is choreographing a routine to your music. This means you should design steps and movements for yourself and your dog(s) to execute that relate to the music you have selected. They may be comprised of basic obedience steps, variations on obedience steps, dressage movements, tricks or any new step you may create. It is important to plan the steps and movements within a defined area, covering the area as fully as possible. The third step is selecting costuming for you and your dog(s). Your outfits should coordinate with the theme of the music you have selected and be pleasing to an audience.
They’ve got the videos to prove it too!
