Couldn't help forwarding this joke.

(It went so well with the tree-climbing robot, but that was real scientific news. Also would go with the Krill story, but shouldn't post a joke there either.)


Far away in the tropical waters of the Caribbean, two prawns
were swimming around in the sea - one called Justin & the
other called Christian.
The prawns were constantly being harassed & threatened by
sharks that inhabited the area. Finally one day Justin said
to Christian, "I'm fed up with being a prawn, I wish I was a
shark, then I wouldn't have any worries about being eaten."
A large mysterious cod appeared & said, "Your wish is
granted" & lo & behold, Justin turned into a shark.
Horrified, Christian immediately swam away, afraid of being
eaten by his old mate.

Time passed & Justin found life as a shark boring & lonely.
All his old mates simply swam away whenever he came close to
them. Justin didn't realise that his new menacing appearance
was the cause of his sad plight. While swimming alone one
day he saw the mysterious cod again & he thought perhaps the
mysterious fish could change him back into a prawn. He
approached the cod & begged to be changed back, & lo &
behold, he found himself turned back into a prawn.


With tears of joy in his tiny little eyes Justin swam back
to his friends & bought them all a cocktail.

(The punch line does not
involve a prawn cocktail - it's much worse).

Looking around the gathering at the reef he realised he
couldn't see his old pal. "Where's Christian?" he asked.
"He's at home, still distraught that his best friend changed
sides to the enemy & became a shark",came the reply. Eager
to put things right again & end the mutual pain & torture,
he set off to Christian's abode. As he opened the coral gate
memories came flooding back.

He banged on the door & shouted, "It's me, Justin, your old
friend, come out & see me again."

Christian replied,"No way man, you'll eat me. You're now a
shark, the enemy, & I'll not be tricked into being your
dinner."

Justin cried back "No, I'm not. That was the old me. I've
changed..........."



"I've found Cod. I'm a Prawn again Christian" .
