And now a really important ways to spend $$

A goldfish at a top museum has undergone cosmetic surgery - after visitors complained it was too ugly.

Ugly Fish

The fish, at the Royal Museum of Scotland in Edinburgh, had an "unsightly" growth on its face, reports the Scotsman. Although the fish showed no signs of stress, scientists decided it should undergo surgery to remove the lump. A spokeswoman for the museum said the fish's eye had to be removed along with the lump. She said the operation had been paid for from the coins people throw into the pond, but she wouldn't confirm how many complaints the museum received about the fish. However, a source told the paper: "People were saying: "'One of your fish has an unsightly growth coming out from its head." They went to the reception desk saying: "You've got an ill fish there"."
