A Haddock's Mating Call
« on: January 02, 2008, 09:48:13 PM »
A haddock's mating call starts as a slow knocking sound, before turning into a quicker hum similar to a small motorcycle revving its engine.

More interesting facts...

Nostalgia is not what it used to be. 😟

Did I tell you we had woodpeckers this past year?

They sound like someone is knocking on the door. If there is also a motorcycle noise then we do have company.

Who would have thought a haddock could ride a motorbike?

People will come from strange lands to hear me speak my words of wisdom. They will ask me the secret of life and I will tell them. Then maybe I'll finish off with a song. The Nomad

Well they wouldn't be able to ride a pedal-cycle. They don't have legs!  ::)

I imagine they can be just as devastating as having rhinos, albeit over a longer period of time, probably.
I apologise, in advance.

I can't believe Peepsie hasn't stepped in with motorpike and side-carp jokes.

A Woman needs a man like a haddock needs a motorbike. I believe that's the quote.

I thought it was: A woman needs a man like a fish needs a bike.

There was a fish in a North-East of England estuary that rescued nine anglers from an upturned boat.

It prompted the saying; "A haddock in Tyne, saves nine".
