Giant Catfish Dies Trying to Eat Football

A catfish met an unpleasant fate in Germany when it tried to eat a football floating in the river. Police patrolling the Main River say it's the weirdest case they've seen in 30 years.

A giant catfish died trying to eat a soccer ball and was found floating in a river with the ball wedged in its large snout, police in Germany said.

The two-meter long fish was found on Monday in a sluice in the Main River with its teeth sunk into the blue and white plastic ball. "The catfish had evidently bitten into the ball and suffocated," Bavarian police said in a statement. "Whether the fish was swept up in the current excitement about football in the wake of the EURO 2008 championship could not be ascertained."

#3  So I take it this means we're not talking about pics of Male Soccer Players wearing should-be-outlawed-for-Men ultra-skimpy groin thongs and dubious-intentioned paddings underneath???

No. Thankfully, we're not.

#2  We prefer to have them choke on the plastic six ring holder of a fine selection of American brew.


Real football is where you can sit in the stands and hear Joe Theisman's leg crack under the weight of the defensive lineman.
