| "Some fishes become extinct, but Herrings go on forever. Herrings
spawn at all times and places and nothing will induce them to change their
ways. They have no fish control. Herrings congregate in schools, where they
learn nothing at all. They move in vast numbers in May and October.
Herrings subsist upon Copepods and Copepods subsist upon Diatoms and
Diatoms just float around and reproduce. Young Herrings or Sperling or
Whitebait are rather cute. They have serrated abdomens. The skull of the
Common or Coney Island Herring is triangular, but he would be just the
same anyway. (The nervous system of the Herring is fairly simple. When the
Herring runs into something the stimulus is flashed to the forebrain, with
or without results.)" | |
