Sewage
machine company warns about 'Finding Nemo' flushes

Kids
be warned: Flushing your pet fish down the drain will not send
it safely into the ocean as depicted in the movie "Finding
Nemo."
A
company that manufactures equipment used to process sewage issued
a press release Thursday warning that drain pipes do lead to the
ocean eventually but first the fluid goes through powerful machines
that "shred solids into tiny particles."
"In
truth, no one would ever find Nemo and the movie would be called
'Grinding Nemo,'" wrote the JWC Environmental company, which
makes the trademarked "Muffin Monster" shredding pumps.
In
the unlikely event Nemo survived the deadly machines, the company
added, he would probably be killed by the chlorine disinfection.
