Herring farts (really!), a video, and other related info

You may recall I was interviewed, about the Mystic River and the herring count, by local community-access TV. The video went live last week; it's here.

I have other counts coming up; perhaps I'll increase my personal count above the current tally: One. Freaking. Herring.

Last, for now, an item via today's "Now I Know" site: The unique way herring communicate --- via fishy flatulence:
