Grizzly-sized Catfish Caught in Thailand

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the fish-stories dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Fishermen in northern Thailand have netted a fish as big as a grizzly bear, a 646-pound Mekong giant catfish, the heaviest recorded since Thai officials started keeping records in 1981. The behemoth was caught in the Mekong River and may be the largest freshwater fish ever found."

    Simple, in certain faiths the word God can not be written without certain rules.

    My jewish friends do this, they write it like this so that when the document is tossed in the trash, it's not act against god.

    I see. Obviously they don't see their God as a very understanding or forgiving deity. Either that or they have far too much free time on their hands.
