Walking Catfish On Runway Delay Flight
A Delta Airlines flight approaching an airport soaked by Tropical Storm Fay was delayed by four catfish that walked onto the runway. Yes, that's right, they walked, and the plane couldn't land until airport officials dispatched a crew to round up the wayward fish.

The fish were unavailable for comment, but it seems they were displaced by the flooding that's made Florida soggier than usual and left Melbourne International Airport besieged by snakes, tortoises and a wayward alligator.

But walking catfish?

1. Yes, walking catfish. They've been around in Florida
for a long time. I had a friend who kept one in a fish tank. It would occasionally jump out and walk around.
