I saw you this weekend at SeaWorld:
The Moray eel!
An excerpt of the wiki description of Moray's "Reputation":
Reputation
Morays have sometimes been described as vicious or ill-tempered. In fact, morays are shy and secretive, and they only attack humans in self-defense. They also accidentally bite human fingers when being fed, because they cannot see or hear very well (side: fits with your hearing loss! LOL), although they have an acute sense of smell. Morays hide from humans and would rather flee than fight. Morays, however, do inflict a nasty bite, because, although not poisonous, their backward-pointing teeth are covered with bacteria which may infect the wound. Another danger that morays present is when they are eaten. If the eels have eaten algae, or fish that have eaten algae, they will cause ciguatera fish poisoning if eaten. Morays rest in crevices during the day and are nocturnal predators, and although they may ensnare small fish and crustaceans that pass near them during the day, they mostly come out at night.

I have a question about this phrase, "taking the piss." It seems to me that the person who is the butt of the joke is the one who should be "taking the piss" and the one who is making the joke would be...I don't know, "giving the piss." Why is it the other way around? |

it refers to the fact that someone is too full of themselves i.e cocky or what have you. As in a full bladder. Therefore taking the piss out of them is an attempt to deflate them or their ego.
