A fish out of water, is a fish out of its element. A fish comes fully equipped with a pair of gills, which it uses to breathe under water. The gills extract life-sustaining oxygen from the hydrogen in the water molecules, in order to regulate the amount of oxygen intake. This maintains the necessary balance of the two components of water for the fish to survive.

 

When a fish is taken out of water, and exposed only to air, not to oxygen and hydrogen containing water, its gills are unable to control the oxygen intake, the delicate balance cannot be maintained, and the gills inhale a lethal overdose of oxygen. The fish essentially experiences death by "drowning."

did anyone know if a turkey's outdoors and it looks up at the sky while it's raining, it can drown! YIKES! so much for a Thanksgiving dinner... LOL.

 

I think that's only tamed turkeys... Because they get bred till they're retarded, basically lol...

 

My step dad used to work on a turkey farm, and he said they'd actually do that...

 

But when he hunts wild turkeys, he's never seen them do it...

Well, I knew that, but I just think it's ironic, lol... That and people call them "burgers" so it seems like THAT'S where the Hamburg part would be used most, ya know, lol... Sorry if I sucked your smart away, :(
