Oh, like this?
A variant-upon-a-variant, there is also in this line the "Truth" fish in which an ichthys with the word "truth" inside is shown eating the Darwin fish. It may or may not be a Christian retaliation against the Darwin fish.

Orca "tribes" actually specialize in what prey they go after -- biologists followed several groups over several years and found not only did they have different "languages" they also had seriously divergent customs and hunting protocols. And this in a very small geographic area, too.
This bumpersticker is wrong. But it made me laugh: [link]
I think about the snottiest things I see are the "In case of rapture this car will be unmanned" bumper stickers. Or in other words, "I am, in fact, holier than thou". I don't think you are supposed to be that sure of your salvation in most denominations of Christianity, but I could be wrong.
The real history of the fishy thing is that Jesus Christ, Son of God, Savior, when put into acronym in Greek, spells fish.
Iesus Christos Theos Uios Soter = I/Ch/Th/U/S = fish
(The spelling-to-sounding conversions make more sense if you know Greek. Like, in Greek, "TH" is one letter.)
The Greek word for fish is also the initials of the words...what was it..."Jesus Christ, Son Of God, Saviour" according to wikipedia, which gives a double-whammy of symbolism!
See, I paid attention in Confirmation class.
