Well, there are two anthologies of his stuff called that - I think it might've been the Penguin one with Attila Sassy art, but I can't find a table of contents for that, so it might've been the other version. It's been like fifteen years since I read it and I don't have the book anymore, but it obviously made an impression.

I've been lusting after that Penguin book for a while, but it sells for about $200

is that a fish? or an effects plugin?

There are three genders of midshipman fish: females, type I males, and type II males. Type I and type II males have different reproductive strategies, and can be distinguished from each other based on physical characteristics. Type I males are eight times larger in body mass, and have much larger vocal organs. Type II males’ reproductive organs are seven times the size of type I males. Female and type II male midshipman fish can be distinguished from each other by the female’s slightly larger size, and the type II male midshipman’s large reproductive organs.

It should really be something off of one of Frankie Laine's country albums.

Feel better about my own job now.

Not as weird as some, but I was explaining to my daughter about wobbegongs last night, and thought they belonged here in their role as beautiful/weird sharks:

What is that?! I like it very much. Note the eye and the delicate violet plumage.

It certainly is punk of the Church of England to think that way (tangenttangent), Friday, 10 June 2016 14:02 (nine years ago)

looks like a bird of paradise of some kind

If possible, please can you get it for me.

i can get you the wiki page

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seychelles_paradise_flycatcher

note: this isn't a true bird of paradise, even though 'paradise' is in the name

imago, Friday, 10 June 2016 14:10 (nine years ago)

I am not convinced it is the same one. I think it looks more like the Japanese paradise flycatcher.

But actually, all the paradise flycatcher species appear to be lovely. See below:

Not weird, but clearly very important.
