Iraq Fishing Roundup
Last year I noted a fascinating article about US soldiers in Iraq passing the time by fishing the ponds at Saddam’s palatial estates: What to do when you’re bored in Iraq Today, via Instapundit, I was happy to see a related post by Bigwig: Fishes of Iraq: Aspius Vorax Wondering if I had missed out on similar content around the net, I did a hasty search and found some other interesting links: Donated Tackle Helps Troops Fish at Saddam’s Private Lake Cyprinidae Fishing Techniques Iraq Fisheries Data Fishing in the lake behind Saddam’s palace using MREs for bait: PRICELESS!

That’s “Mr. Loading Supervisor” to you
Due to unforseen circumstances, I just spent a whole half an hour 43 minutes supervising forklifts loading a huge truck with our products.
