   Hell is other people, other people are 60% water. the earth’s surface is 71% water. cucumbers are 95% water. you can’t fish in cucumbers, but you can fish on earth, so you can fish in Hell.

   Real… turbulent.. juice. When I was younger, I saw that movie title and thought it had something to do with semen.
   Bern has a point or three, because it seems like most devil-pitchforks are fishing tridents, with barbed tips and all. Gotta spear them fishems.

   Bern: What does a fish have to do to get damned to Hell? Or does Hell have native fish? Is it all devil rays?

   Cold: Yet we call them pitchforks. The question, then, is whether this is great brand exposure for pitchforks or genius distancing by tridents. Given how I assumes sales volume must be for each, I’m guessing pitchforks hired the better marketing firm.

   @itso
   well in one of my settings anything sentient (distinct from sapient. this is my pet peeve) can become a ghost if it eats any amount of other people. maybe since there are fish in Hell and probably not much in Heaven, fish who don’t eat human disappear and fish who do go to Hell.

   alternatively, fish go to Hell if they are eaten by other people. that would mean they often don’t have all the parts for a while. that means most of the fish start out headless, which means they can’t be rod-fished and additionally inflict terror, making them look much scarier while alive so you’re always disappointed with your catch.

   The Headless Hell Fish should totally be a minor-league baseball team.
