The fish pedicure
A Virginia salon owns 1,000 garra rufa carp fish, and for $35 for 15 minutes, ya can stick your foot in a bath and let 100 of them bite off dead skin (instead of having the pedicurist shave the skin with a razor). Seems degrading, but who knows what goes through the mind [sic] of a carp? Associated Press via CNN

...So razors (which can be sterilized) versus FISH IN WATER. I've only been to the aqaurium a few times...but I don't remember seeing any TOILETS in those huge fish tanks. I'm not that excited about razors being used on my feet...but I don't think I want to stick my feet in a fish bath, either.
