These eels freak me the fark out.

In fact all those weirdy deep-sea creatures do. How do we know they're not aliens or something!?

AAWWAUURGHH GIANT SQUIDS *shudder*

The elusive giant squid is one of the world's largest animals, reaching a length of up to 60 feet. It is the largest known invertebrate in the world. The giant squid is a mollusk and is member of the cephalopod class, which includes the octopus and other squids. Very little is known about these mysterious animals because none have been seen alive in the wild. Most of what we know about them comes from the bodies of dead squid that have washed ashore or been pulled up in fishermen's nets. These animals are carnivores, and will eat just about anything they can catch.

when we've killed all of the better-tasting animals in the ocean they're going to wind up selling those things at red lobster.

That fish...he is so full of wisdom

SUPER USA (╓abies), Saturday, 3 April 2010 03:26 (sixteen years ago)

aw, that hog thing upthread! I just want to take a pair of machete-sized nail clippers and trim off those curly horns so they don't get all gross and ingrown. does anyone have the hog's contact info?

broa super (unregistered), Saturday, 3 April 2010 03:33 (sixteen years ago)

xpost - by the looks of it, see-thru fish doesn't have much of a brain to store wisdom in. it'd sure be embarrassing if people could judge your intelligence just by peering into your skull. poor fish looks pretty humiliated about it imho.

that's the latest in a series of articles about the BABIRUSA

ain't no thang but a chicken ㅋ (dyao), Saturday, 3 April 2010 03:39 (sixteen years ago)

also since the babirusa contains the words USA in its name - I vote we kill off the bald eagle and make the babirUSA our national animal

Regardless, in those babirusas with spiralling tusks, some authors say that, if the animal lives long enough, the tusks grow fatally into the face

ouch!

broa super (unregistered), Saturday, 3 April 2010 03:42 (sixteen years ago)

y'know, in a way, the United States of America has lived so long that its tusks have begun growing into its face.

broa super (unregistered), Saturday, 3 April 2010 03:44 (sixteen years ago)

what I'm tryna say here is, "god bless the babirUSA"
