When His Fish Passed Away, He Decided To Give Him The Epic Funeral He Deserved

That’s when they came up with the idea of giving Watson a Viking funeral. A traditional way to honor the dead in pre-historic times, they knew that it would serve as a fitting monument to his life.

Goodnight, sweet fish. They may have left a few details out, but something tells me that Watson appreciated the effort all the same.
