Lake Erie was once in the same boat, being so dirty that it was a health hazard in some areas. It has since been cleaned up by the zebra mussels that have invaded the lake. The zebra mussels are cleaning the lake with their water filtering process, but at the same time they dine on the eggs of other fish, so we are losing large native fish populations. What is the answer to a clean lake and large fish populations? No one knows!!!Ellenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16426059261040440673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20146619.post-52124836188037622642009-07-02T10:21:34.560-07:002009-07-02T10:21:34.560-07:00Mustard, sugar, and Lampreys.

"Too many" is certainly correct by modern usage (actually he probably died because he had them brought to him some distance and one or more had gone off by the time ate them), but, really, how often do you get to use the word "surfeit", and, well, lampreys and surfeits just go together. <br /><br />http://www.google.com.au/search?q=surfeit+of+lampreys&sourceid=navclient-ff&ie=UTF-8&rlz=1B3GGGL_enAU281AU282<br /><br />That being said, I'm glad to hear that the Thames is now clean enough to once again host lampreys! Perhaps soon there will even be a surfeit of them! Hooray for surfeits! <br /><br />(Yes. I am a fan of archaic language, and of history, as well as of this fine an educational blog.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
