And all this time I've been thinking that Dory from "Finding Nemo" was a John Dory fish, but she's not - she's a Blue Tang fish. Church was cancelled today because of the snow.

Something I didn't know: it's been suggested that the fish referred to in Matthew 17:27 was supposedly a John Dory fish (a.k.a. St. Peter's fish, Zeus faber). Others, however, have suggested that it was a Tilapia instead (the first fish in space). The latter seems more likely, considering their differing habitats.

There are, of course, many different species of Tilipia alone (not to mention Cichlids in general), so it's tough to pinpoint which species (or even genus) it most likely was, in reality.
