Torontoist is one of thirteen cities in the worldwide Gothamist network. Each Sunday, the editors of every site—from LAist to Londonist—choose their most interesting article, a list that is compiled into the network-wide feature Elsewhere In The Ist-a-Verse.

• Gothamist found out that the same fish has been residing in a Queens pet store’s fish tank for the past forty-one years. Also, his name is Buttkiss.
• Shanghaiist found out that somebody (possibly government related) is sending journalists in China targeted malware-ridden emails, though they haven’t figured out why yet.
• Seattlest enjoyed the songs and F-bombs of the It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia live show.
• Bostonist analyzed why LA doesn’t like Boston and why Catholics don’t like reiki.
• LAist realized that there’s a clear media East Coast bias that’s selling LA sports teams short…in favor of…Boston?! Shudder.
• Chicagoist sat down with writer/director Kevin Smith and found he had a lot to say.
• DCist followed the arrest on bribery charges of the chief of staff of a popular city councilman and all the details still unfolding in the case.
• Phillyist ran the gamut of funny this week. Very funny: an interview with Christian Finnegan; not funny at all: wrapping a cat in duct tape and leaving it to die.
• Londonist did a couple of shifts on Trafalgar Square’s fourth plinth.
• SFist saw a PETA protester smack Ronald McDonald in the face with a pie at a kids’ event.
