Ive been meaning to share this story for some time now but havent got to it until now. A bit of background before I begin. For those of you who dont know, located in the SF Bay Area, Pixar made the movie "Finding Nemo."

Some weeks ago I responded to a craigslist ad for a lungfish. The owner and I began corresponding about the fish and other aquarium related issues. I then noticed that he worked at Pixar and he even knew some mutual friends of mine that work there as well. The gentleman then told me a story about how years ago before Nemo he had a lungfish in his office. A co-worker at the time was fascinated and intrigued by the fish. Years later after the lungfish was long gone the co-worker still fondly remembered the little lungfish. This co-worker later on would be the person who created and wrote "Finding Nemo" Hence, my friend and I would both like to think that the little lungfish in his office had some small impact on the film itself. Ive invited the gentleman to join MFK and can only hope he sees this thread!

Just something to think bout. Hope you enjoyed my story!:popcorn:

would be nice to think so i thoght you were gonna go in the direction that the lingfish got out of the tank and they had to find it "finding lungfish" lol
 
They should have made MFK: The Movie
 
Glad you guys enjoyed the story!
