[ WP ] Space is like the ocean : A vast , featureless expanse filled with water and mostly populated by fish .

At least that's what the news headlines were saying. Scientists were able to find that these strange creatures did n't actually exist on Earth. These *other* fish could live outside our trench. That makes me wonder to which extent I can trust the news. Maybe if they told me they found space monkeys I could try to make sense out of it, but space fish never seemed to be headline material. 
 
 The more I think about it, the more natural it seems. After all, there were no pictures released. By fish they might mean some kind of new wavy particular. Those kind of terms physicists like to use to sound cool. Perhaps the new space fish is a way to refer to invisible flowing matter. 
 
 No. There's no way I can make sense out of it. Regardless of how I try to frame it in my mind, it just does n't fit. Is this what it feels to let reality collide with my everyday life? Usually there are no fish preventing airplanes from landing. So if they tell me that they found a funny thingy thing that jumps and looks like a pea, then it just somehow feels alright to be the primary being in space. But fish? 
 
 The clock hit 8:45. I fetched my coat from the closet since it seemed to begin to rain while this fish monologue was going on inside my head. As I was about to turn off the TV, the newscaster began to apologize for the mistake. They did n't mean to say they found fish in space, which is like the ocean. Apparently someone had a funny slip and put space instead of Lake Ness.
