This is actually an interesting question because it involves the term "thirst," which is defined as a drive to drink water. Mammals exhibit this drive, and they drink as part of the physiological control mechanisms they use to maintain salt and water balance. Other key mechanisms in water and salt balance primarily involve the kidneys, which are regulated largely by hormones. Animals that live on land face a constant threat of dehydration, and thirst provides a drive that helps maintain salt and water balance through drinking water.

Fish, on the other hand, live in water. The question sometimes arises about whether or not fish drink. The answer is that they do; at least, many teleost fishes do. Fish that live in fresh water have blood with a higher concentration of salt and other solutes than the surrounding water. Because their gills are in constant contact with the water, fresh water fish face a constant threat of their blood diluted, so they don't use drinking as a mechanism to maintain the high solute concentration in their blood. Fish that live in salt water, however, have blood with a lower solute concentration than their surroundings and, like terrestrial animals, face a threat of dehydration.

Salt water teleost fish do drink to help maintain salt & water balance in their blood. They differ from terrestrial animals, however, in two respects. First, they don't have to search for water; since they're surrounded by water, they drink very frequently. Second, the neural circuits that control drinking are different in fish and mammals. In fish, these circuits are located in the hindbrain, but in mammals they are in the forebrain. Drinking in fish is considered to be a reflex and is thought to occur without any thirst arousal. Thus, although fish drink, that doesn't necessarily mean that they get thirsty! Current thinking suggests that they don't.

So, I'm 20 and my girlfriend's 19, we've been
dating for months now. And all of a sudden
this guy named Joe comes out of nowhere
into my life (he's my new co-worker at my
company). Pretty soon I find out he has no
money, no place of residence. Basically he
moved here for the job and can no longer
afford his hotel. So, being the nice guy that I
am, I decide to open up to him. I keep him in
my apartment for weeks, bro is pretty cool.
We play the vidya, drinks beers, watch
football, it's good times. This continues for
several months.
Afterwards, I find out my girlfriend is
pregnant, so by all tradition, I have to marry
her now. One night, I'm eating out at dinner
with her. Joe had decided to stay at the
office late for some overtime. I pop the
question to my girlfriend. And then here
comes a revelation out of nowhere. She
admits she was raped by Joe and the baby
isn't mine. She says she isn't ready to make
a commitment any more after being violated.
You can imagine this makes me mad. I go
home in a wild rage. I throw out all of Joe's
stuff, and I am gonna kill him when he gets
home. He finally come back at about 1AM
maybe. And as soon as he opens the door, I
punch him in his bastard face. His eye swells
up like a boll of cotton. He swings at me, but
I dodge and sweep his leg, causing him to
fall down. I am in a giant rage now. I go to
the kitchen, grab the meatcleaver out of the
drawer, and go back to confront Joe. He
jumps in his car and hightails it out of there.
I haven't seen or heard from him since.
So anyway, I'm on the phone a month later
with my brother, and he finally asks why I've
been so depressed. I tell him that if it hadn't
been from cotton-eye Joe, I'd been married a
long time ago. Where did you come from,
where did you go, where did you come from,
Cotton-Eye Joe?

Muhammadu Buhari wins
Nigeria's presidential
elections

Election commission declares victory for
former military ruler, Muhammadu Buhari,
over incumbent Goodluck Jonathan.
31 Mar 2015 17:18 GMT | Politics , Africa ,
Nigeria , Nigeria Decides
The 72-year-old Buhari built an early lead
in northern state [AP]
FEATURED
Nigeria's election commission has
declared
Muhammadu Buhari the winner of the
country's bitterly contested presidential
election, in a vote marred marred by
confusion, arguments and violence.
Al Jazeera's Yvonne Ndege, reporting from
the capital Abuja, said the election
commission made the announcement after
nearly all votes had been tallied.
The All Progressives Congress
(APC) party said their candidate received
a phone call from incumbent President
Goodluck Jonathan where he immediately
conceded defeat and congratulated Buhari
on his victory.
"President Jonathan called General
Muhammadu Buhari, the winner of the
elections, to congratulate him," Lai
Mohammed, the spokesman for the
APC said.
"There had always been this fear that he
might not want to concede, but he will
remain a hero for this move. The tension
will go down dramatically,
"Anyone who tries to foment trouble on the
account that they have lost the election
will be doing so purely on his own," he
added.
According to the Reuters news agency,
Buhari's APC won by 2.1 million votes,
with 15.4 million votes versus 13.3 for
Jonathan and the PDP.
Victory for former military ruler Buhari
marks the first time in Nigeria's history
that an opposition party has
democratically taken control of the
country from the ruling party.

Nigeria's election
To win the election, Buhari had needed to
win more than 50 percent of the total
votes nationally - and take at least 25
percent of the vote in two thirds of the
states.
The 72-year-old built an early lead in
northern states dominated by the mainly
Muslim, Hausa-Fulani ethnic group of
which he is a member.
Incumbent President Goodluck Jonathan,
whose five years in office have been
plagued by corruption scandals and an
insurgency by Boko Haram fighters, was
trailing by around 500,000 votes before
votes in pro-opposition areas were
counted.
In the previous election, more than 800
people were killed in protests after Buhari
was defeated by Buhari.
There was a brief protest by Jonathan's
Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) before
the counting had resumed on Tuesday.
Former Niger Delta minister Godsday
Orubebe accused elections chief Attahiru
Jega of being "partial" and "selective".
Orubebe claimed Jega had refused to
investigate PDP complaints about big
wins by Buhari in northern states but had
launched a probe into claims by the APC
of irregularities in Rivers.
Jega said later: "I don't believe that the
allegations are substantial enough to
require the cancellation or rescheduling of
the elections in Rivers state. We will take
the results."
International observers gave broadly
positive reactions to the conduct of the
vote, despite late delivery of election
materials and technical glitches with new
voter authentication devices.
Nigeria's Transition Monitoring Group,
which had observers across the country,
said: "These issues did not systematically
disadvantage any candidate or party."
