Kids should not imitate what they see in "Finding Nemo"
Costa Mesa, California-AP -- Don't try this at home. Children who have seen the computer-animated movie "Finding Nemo" might be tempted to flush their pet fish down the drain to send it safely into the ocean.
Not.
A company that makes equipment to process sewage says yes, drain pipes do eventually lead to the ocean -- but first the fluid goes through powerful machines that "shred solids into tiny particles."
The J-W-C Environmental company writes that in reality, "no one would ever find Nemo," and instead the movie would be called "Grinding Nemo."
The company goes on to says that in the unlikely event that Nemo survived the deadly machines, he would probably be killed by the chlorine disinfection.
