Big appetites probably stranded sturgeon

Nearly 1,500 white sturgeon became stranded last week within Port Susan Bay's shallow channels near Stanwood, apparently while searching for food. Almost all survived by swimming back into the depths of Puget Sound after the tide came in several hours later.

Hmmm ... I wonder where I'll be fishing this weekend?

Some fish biologists speculate that the sturgeon, some reaching 10 feet long, were hungry for critters found in shallow mud flats. When the tide dropped, the fish were trapped in the estuary's shallow channels, unable to move across the exposed, muddy ground to deeper water.

nooooo.....how did you figure that out...i mean did they really need to quote that....or maybe they just think seattleites are stupid


its like the headline they had the other day...whenever it was

Its hard to get out of gangs once you have joined (or something to that affect)

can't you come with an article that people don't alrdy know lol...ive seen some really stupid ones but can't recall them all at the moment...

i never got to read the other paper that just shut down but how could they be much worse lol

They were just covering the basics (who, what, where, when, why).  If they hadn't included that bit about what some fish biologists think they'd would most likely be people speculating on why the fish had stranded themselves.  For example, naval sonar experiments driving them to beach themselves like whales.

Just seems like everytime i read an article i have this Uh Duh moment...and wish i wouldn't have wasted my time reading past the title because there was no further information...just a long drawn out article saying the same thing the title did

this may have not been the greatest example...but i have never read a paper as often before with this feeling lol

maybe im just imagining they are bad writers...but i don't think so
