MORE FISHY GOODNESS!!!
Discovery Channel's Shark Week gives me weird ideas. Like, I dunno, wanting the interior of my house doors to have the frame of a megalodon jaw - plaster cast, preferably, since I prefer to not pay with arms, legs, toes, pints of blood and/or a first-born.
So, after watching this past summer's Shark Week, I went a-eBaying, looking for "shark jaws." I came across this . . . erm . . . loveliness . . .
That lovely maw belongs to a goblin shark. Quite rare, apparently. Happily hiding out in the super-deep oceans all 'round Japan.
But, oh, we know what happens to critters that get far-removed from teh sun, now, don't we?
Joseph Merrick, meet your cartilaginous cousin:
Seriously? All I could think of was the Elephant Man.
But it gets bizarre-r.
"HAI KAN I HAZ FINGURR SHNAK NOW PLZ K TY."
Seriously? Seriously? This thing freakin' scares me (and I belong to bad_porn_2, so nothing should theoretically creep me out, hm?).
It's like the underwater version of the Proboscis monkey (which, incidentally, also scare the shit outta me - but they're vicious, so it's understandable).
