Hey!  Wear a pair of these glasses and peo­ple might say, “Hello, Fish­stick Face!” and it will be a good thing.

hard to see any­thing with all these fish hang­ing around

Erik de Lau­rens, a designer, has invented a way to com­press fish scales, (scales mean­ing the skin of dead fish and not the thing you use to weigh over­weight seal­ife with)…to press them together so tightly that they stick together and make a new kind of mate­r­ial for … all kinds of things.  Includ­ing eye­glass frames.  It’s a great way to make use of some­thing that would just go into the trash.

You may have heard the phrase, “the scales fell from my eyes”.  It means that some­one sud­denly real­izes the truth about some­thing, or some­thing was revealed to her.  He can see the truth now.  Before, not.  What kind of per­son would think some­thing like this, you might ask?  Well, plenty of peo­ple.  The phrase has been around a long time.

Now the scales don’t have to fall from your eyes for you to see properly.

Gorton’s Fish­eries has not yet con­firmed whether or not they will be call­ing any­one Fish­stick Face in the near future.
