Don´t eat the wrong fish


Foolish fisherman feasts on fugu for fatal last supper Fugu, or pufferfish, have long been a tasty treat for the Japanese palate, but the highly toxic nature of the spiked fish capable of expanding its lungs to grow to several times its normal size to scare off threatening enemies proves it's hardly full of hot air. And the fearsome fugu has struck again.

"It seems this gentleman had made a habit of preparing fugu and ate it without ever worrying about being poisoned."
