Today Robyn answers the all important question to why FISH is on FISH trucks, thanks Robyn. The reason you did this is you couldn't help it, welcome to the club. You too have the right to remain silent, just not the ability.
Also Lee in El Paso asked what a Blog was; she thought it was like a personal diary. Lee was correct the genesis of blogs (it appears) came as a result of online personal diaries.
FISH and more than you ever wanted to know about Blogs. Enjoy

I can't believe I'm actually responding to this......even more so, I'm embarrassed that I've spent so much time researching this FISH subject, but here goes!According to a trucker on the web who has spent many years hauling perishable goods in refrigerated boxes,trucks hauling fish are required to be especially identified because of the danger of cross contamination if the containers are used for other products, as well as odor control and other safety/hygienic issues. She said the FDA regulates this, as they do other food labeling/identification issues, and truckers hauling fish are subject to inspection by the FDA as well as the normal DOT authorities, and having the boxes labeled "FISH" facilitates this.I also found that the Texas Parks and Wildlife can fine a fish vehicle that is not properly marked.There you go Mr. Coffey. Do what you will with this useless information!Robyn
The Word Blog
The running updates of online diarists combined with links inspired the term 'web log' which was eventually contracted to form the word Blog.
Online Diaries
In online diaries, people write their day-to-day experiences, social commentary, complaints, poems, prose, illicit thoughts and any content that might be found in a traditional paper diary or journal. They often allow readers to contribute through comments or community posting
Blog
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A blog (a portmanteau of web log) is a website where entries are written in chronological order and commonly displayed in reverse chronological order. "Blog" can also be used as a verb, meaning to maintain or add content to a blog.
Many blogs provide commentary or news on a particular subject; others function as more personal online diaries. A typical blog combines text, images, and links to other blogs, web pages, and other media related to its topic. The ability for readers to leave comments in an interactive format is an important part of many blogs. Most blogs are primarily textual, although some focus on art (artlog), photographs (photoblog), sketchblog, videos (vlog), music (MP3 blog), audio (podcasting) and are part of a wider network of social media. Micro-blogging is another type of blogging which consists of blogs with very short posts.
As of September 2007, blog search engine Technorati was tracking more than 106 million blogs.[1]
