Flushing Nemo
From CNN.com
Flushing fish doesn't lead to sea Flushing 'Nemo' COSTA MESA, California (AP) -- Kids be warned: Flushing your pet fish down the drain will not send it safely into the ocean as depicted in the new computer-animated movie by Disney and Pixar "Finding Nemo." A company that manufactures equipment used to process sewage issued a news release Thursday warning that drain pipes do lead to the ocean -- eventually -- but first the fluid goes through powerful machines that "shred solids into tiny particles." "In truth, no one would ever find Nemo and the movie would be called 'Grinding Nemo,"' wrote the JWC Environmental company, which makes the trademarked "Muffin Monster" shredding pumps. In the unlikely event Nemo survived the deadly machines, the company added, he would probably be killed by the chlorine disinfection. Heh

Does anyone remember the movie Aligator? Same principle, child buys aligator as pet...pet starts getting to big...pet gets flushed...pet lives in sewer for years...becomes largest aligator to ever terify the city.
The movies have been flushing things that survive for years and years. |

It's a cemetary! It's a garbage disposal! It's an illusion for children to believe their pets are going to a better place!
What can the toilet NOT do?

The funny thing to me is that the movie accurately shows that the pipes do NOT go directly to the sea, but instead go to the sewage treatment plant (with the appropriate music of dread).
Nemo escapes thru a hole in the pipe as though this was the plan the whole time. LOL |
