    Off Their Noodles: Catching Catfish By Hand
    Traditionally, fishing is considered to be a quiet and peaceful pastime.

    However, it's a whole different - not to mention finger threatening experience - when it comes to 'noodling' for catfish.

    Flathead catfish live in holes or under brush in rivers and lakes, and the unconventional method of fishing involves placing your hand inside one of these underwater holes.

    In theory the catfish will then latch onto the fisherman's hand, usually as a defensive maneuver, in order to try to escape.

    The trick is then to push your hand down the fish's throat before grabbing it by the back of the jaw and hauling it out of its hole.

    Though some noodlers wear gloves or take other protective measures, many don't and cuts and minor wounds are a real possibility.

    Other more serious dangers include the loss of fingers and a risk of drowning, as many holes are deep enough that diving underwater is required.

    In addition, alligators, snakes, snapping turtles and other aquatic life have all been known to take over abandoned catfish holes.

    Noodling is illegal almost everywhere in America - because of the risk to noodlers and the threat to the fish population - apart from in 11 Southern states.

    Rude Awakening: Penguin Mistakes Seal For Boulder
    WATCH HILARIOUS CLIP: http://bit.ly/gMn59M

    What a rude awakening - a seal was startled out of slumber when a penguin mistook it for a ROCK.

    The flightless bird was happily leaping from boulder to boulder when it accidentally jumped onto the snoozing seal.

    The shocked creature reacted by stretching its back and, with mouth wide open, tried to dislodge the cheeky visitor.

    Seemingly sensing something was not quite right, the penguin leapt off and made good his escape - leaving the seal giving it a look that would melt an iceberg.

    Hilariously, another penguin arrives and seems about to do the same thing to the hapless seal.

    The scene was captured by an anonymous tourist who posted the clip - thought to have been shot in Antarctica - online.

    The British cameraman is heard saying "our friend's found a way down" before exclaiming a shocked "oh!" when the penguin makes its first leap.

    His female colleague says "did you get it? Did you get it?" before another male comments: "he didn't like it, did he, the seal?".

    Silk production - from worm to catwalk, southern India - 2010
    SILK PRODUCTION - FROM WORM TO CATWALK

    For many silk - the Queen of all fabrics - spells luxury, elegance, class and comfort.

    But for hundreds of thousands of people in India it is something much more mundane but infinitely important - a vital life line.

    An estimated 700,000 people are involved in various sericulture (silk production) activities in India.

    Half of all the silk produced in India comes from the region of Karnataka where a sub-tropical climate allows for year-round production.

    In 2007-08 India exported more than GBP 400 million of raw silk, carpets and ready made garments.

    In 2007 alone it produced 18,320 metric tonnes of raw silk, making it the second a largest silk producer in the world.

    It is second only behind China, which produced 108,420 metric tonnes of raw silk in the same period.

    While the difference is vast, India's contribution is even more impressive considering that much of its production is done using outdated tools or by hand.

    Ultimately, however, poor technology and high production costs undermine the vital role played by sericulture in improving India's rural economy.

    The Worm

    The Silkworm Seed Production Centre in Mysore is run by Professor N.M. Biram Saheb.

    He explains that the Indian government pioneered the provision of disease free lays of eggs as a way of improving yields without increasing start-up costs

    The practice means that farmers are provided with a steady stream of healthy silkworm eggs.

    It is deep in the seed production centre where the 'work' of creating these eggs takes place - in darkened rooms where moths are laid out on newspaper in racks of plastic trays.

    Powerhouses of the silk industry they may be, but in reality they are pale weaklings whose only purpose is to mate...
