Normally I wouldn't give secrets like that out, but there's no harm done in this case because it's more an /in/crease of privacy.

Why Squirrelfish? I think it is because of their big eyes. I have seen some with thick black rims around the eyes that look just like a squirrels.
On the other hand, this one looks like it has been swimming in a bottle of vodka all night:

Hello. Thanks for the info. and the link.
You are probably right to suppose that squirrelfish come by their name due to the fact that their eyes are rather squirrel-like (at least as much as those of other fish, at any rate). Of course, they could have been the favourite food of the daughter of a long-forgotten colonial official, whose pet name was squirrel (the daughter, that is). Though that seems less likely.
Have you had some personal experience of squirrelfish?

Nope, sorry to get your hopes up but the first I heard of them was when I tripped over your user page. I was curious about what a fish named after a squirrel would look like so I did a bit of research.
Unfortunately it has left me with the urge to learn diving and go off to reefs before they aall dissapear.

Hmm... me too.
My first encounter was also a chance one. There is a picture of one in my dictionary. I wonder how many divers have been lured to the deep by photos of squirrelfish.
Strangely, squirrels leave me without the slightest desire to climb trees.

Very well, thankyou. How are you? Very happy, you say? well, good. I'm glad.
Who was nicking your pictures? from where? And how was someone able to help you?
That's a lot of questions, all at once. Pardon me.

People keep stealing my pics off my website. And that bloke with the long name told me how to stop them. But it isn't working. I think I must be doing it wrong! I've found a way to get into this place! Although I delete my cookies, I've just got a link to the place I have to go to to make a new cookie. So that's okay. My head hurts. I think it's because I have three pigtails.

That bloke! That bloke! Him! Thanks for the HTML... I just don't get where I'm meant to put it in my website. All it's done is disable my graphics and stuff so far. Oh, well!

Put it at the beginning. And don't use the parts that say to start and stop copying.

Sorry about the HTML link. I subscribed to idrive.com (free) to get some web space - and it does not work very well.
Normal service will be resumed as soon as someone figures out what normal is ...

Are you trying to rhyme? If so, try again.
Are you trying to twist our tongues? If so, shut up.
Are you tryinh to imitate a locomotive whistle? If so, blow.

?? I call it pic-nick proof. Everyone who comes to my website and tries to steal my pictures e-mails me and asks why they can't eat.
