The only difference is that I suspect a 20 pound fish would be trying to stay alive, where as far as I can tell, Niko is in a constant battle to try to kill himself.

I bet the Neanderthals didn&#8217;t bath their kids, which was the only reason we survived the early days. As soon as baths were invented, I&#8217;m surprised we didn&#8217;t just die off.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/happyinwater\/482604094\" class=\"tt-flickr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/farm1.static.flickr.com\/168\/482604094_410bd9e325.jpg\" class=\"tt-flickr\" alt=\"In the tub\" height=\"449\" width=\"500\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/happyinwater\/482612919\" class=\"tt-flickr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/farm1.static.flickr.com\/219\/482612919_411fe82d8f.jpg\" class=\"tt-flickr\" alt=\"Happy in water\" height=\"500\" width=\"492\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/happyinwater\/482612427\" class=\"tt-flickr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/farm1.static.flickr.com\/207\/482612427_ac25bb2874.jpg\" class=\"tt-flickr\" alt=\"Naked baby\" height=\"500\" width=\"491\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/happyinwater\/482612171\" class=\"tt-flickr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/farm1.static.flickr.com\/181\/482612171_1061ec5414.jpg\" class=\"tt-flickr\" alt=\"Naked happy baby\" height=\"367\" width=\"500\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Giving Niko a bath is a bit like wrestling with a 20 pound fish covered in Johnson &amp; Johnson Baby Shampoo in a very small tub.
