Oh, this photo brings back so many memories. Before McDonald's and KFC, we had hot fish and chips. Who here ate hot fish and chips straight from the newspaper while standing out the front of the local milk bar with friends? We used to rip a hole in the top of the package to keep it hot. This meal tasted far better than fast-food chains today, and it was also more filling!

Sharks do not have a single bone in their entire body. Instead, sharks have cartilage, the same tissue that a human’s nose and ears are made of. Cartilage is vastly lighter than bones, making it easier for sharks to zip around the water like a torpedo.
