(IXOYE) in them.  You see these fish almost exclusively on the back of cars.

I say was a new thing: one of those Darwin things being eaten by a larger

we're more clever" kind of thing.

Any bets on when we will see a darwin fish being eaten by a god fish
being eaten by a Nietzsche fish being eaten by a Holy Trinity fish?

It's along the same lines as the T-shirt with the two quotes:

"God is dead" --Nietzsche
"Nietzsche is dead" --God

Hmmm.... :)
