Humuhumunukunukuapuaa
The Humuhumunukunukuapuaa, once the official state fish of Hawaii and still considered so by many people has a chance of regaining his rightful place as the official state fish. I has two compelling points in its favor. First, and most important, it’s cute. As seen in the picture on the right the fish, featuring pink and black and yellow looks a lot more like a child’s toy than a real fish. Second, it’s inedible. The latter is important because PETA-like nutcases are always trying to ‘protect’ innocent mascots, and there’s always the chance the EPA will get involved. That is often a Bad Thing.™ Not that it is always a bad thing, but still, better to use a ‘garbage’ fish you might dry out to use as starter fuel for a fire than one that looks good on a dinner plate. After all, people still like eating fish, but most people these days have Zippos® or matches.
