The Takitaro is a this unknown species of monster fish that lives in Yamagata, Japan. Lake Otoriike to be exact. Located nearly 1,000 meters above sea level, the remote mountain lake was created ages ago when an earthquake triggered a massive landslide that dammed up a mountain stream. People claim that this prehistoric monster fish can grow to sizes of 10 feet or more.
In 1982 japanese newspapers reported that a group of mountain climbers above the lake observed a fish that was 6-7 feet long. Apparently, this made international headlines, I wouldn't know. Three years later (1985) a team of scientists equipped with sonar went to the lake to search for the Takitaro. How they got such super sweet jobs I wish I knew. It turns out the sonar revealed the presence of gigantic fish in the lake, and scientists identified some smaller fish they found as relatives of an ancient species of salmon that was most likely trapped when the lake was formed years ago. Next time I get sushi I want a philadelphia roll with ANCIENT salmon motherfucker!
The true identity of the monster fish is still unknown but it is most likely a gigantic prehistoric salmon. Some one take me fishing there!
More giant fish....

KAMPUNG KOMODO, Indonesia -- At least once a week, an unwelcome intruder crawls under a clapboard wall and, forked tongue darting, lumbers its way into Syarif Maulana's classroom.
"Then, everyone screams, there is no more school, and we all run away very fast," says the 10-year-old boy. "We are very afraid."
The intruder, a Komodo dragon, is the world's largest lizard, an ancient, fierce carnivore found only on a handful of remote islands in eastern Indonesia. Reaching 10 feet in length, the dragons feed on buffaloes, deer and an occasional human. Just a year ago, a boy about Syarif's age died in a dragon's jaws, his bones smashed against rocks to facilitate reptilian digestion.
Damn! I thought I had problems!

This is a little edit Villani made of the my boy Sal that was filmed 2 blocks away from my house. Dude has been riding for less than a year and is better than me! Sal has no fear and I have witnessed him on several occasions learn 4 or 5 tricks perfectly first try. He loves riding more than anyone I know. He also smokes more shwag blunts than anyone I know, which is saying something!
Sal doesn't really know or care about too many trends in BMX (which is quite refreshing for a jaded old bastard like myself) and is all about having fun all the time. "All about having fun" is a phrase thrown around alot yet rarely practiced in the modern BMX conglomerate/internet abomination. Not the case here folks, Sal is the real deal. The man rides a Newport frame, how could anyone hate on that?
