First he was asking if they have a type of fish. Then, he was asking for a "swimming sashimi" (sashimi = raw fish). Usually this means a fish that has been cut up and is on the plate live. All that happened here was that instead of the fish being live on the plate, it was live in the water. This is pretty common in Japan (live on the plate, not common for it to be in the water). The announcer said something like "he took a single fish, grated some fresh wasabi, this place is pretty famous for its good service." Anyway, he was surprised when he saw it because it wasn't live on the plate, and questioned its authenticity, until he saw it in the tank. In the crazy negative flash scene the announcer said, "and what the heck is that in front of him!?" Then he shouts "It's swimming!" The chef said that he got the idea from a manga that he read when he was a kid.

Not So Boring Life has compiled a list of the 5 most common parasites that infect humans along with the symptoms and cures. Here’s one on tapeworms:Tapeworms are the mack daddy of parasites that can measure upwards of 20 FEET long! Keep an eye on your dung heaps because these guys are so long they tend to break off. As long as the head remains attached in the intestine they will continue to grow. Humans are generally infected by tapeworms through cattle. Tapeworms will bore through the intestinal wall of the cow and lodge themselves in the muscle where you ingest them (I’ll take my steak well done, please). Symptoms are similar to the others including abdominal discomfort, diarrhea, and constipation. If you’re looking to lose a couple pounds you might consider letting a couple tapeworms take up residence in your intestines. It is rumored that tapeworms were a core ingredient of some diet pills.

"It looks very different from the other kittens, and its mouth, nose and paws are all dog-like," says owner Zhang Qiming. "Also, its tail is one centimetre shorter than that of the other three kittens."
Zhang says he has had the cat for more than two years, and she has given birth before but never to a dog. "I always let her go as she pleases, to date other cats or play outside overnight," he said.
