As if the shark attacks last year weren't bad enough, now Floridians have to sweat the lionfish - an exotic fish with poisonous, needlelike spines. When I was a little kid, our next door neighbor was a fish-nut, he had one of these. They're really pretty fish. Oh well...yet another reason you'll never see me so much as put my big toe in the ocean. It's just asking for trouble.
