Fish pedicures are creating something of a splash in the D.C. area, where a northern Virginia spa has been offering them for the past four months. John Ho, who runs the Yvonne Hair and Nails salon with his wife, Yvonne Le, said 5,000 people have taken the plunge so far.

Apparently they have something like this in Wisconsin, but the carp are bigger and they dunk in a different part of their anatomy to nibble on.

This is one time I would prabably side with PETA!
