Well, I was all set to watch Videodrome this evening, but I just got my Cronenbergian body-horror requirement met. Thanks, EJ!

Well, they're not too big anyway. And I don't know, the creature in that second link is really pretty cool. Anybody want a decal?

Awwwww, squishyball. Do want.

Gross! Where do these live so I can not go there?

That made me go "ehhhhhhw" out loud. The second pic, though, is pretty damn cool.

Kronos, I am astounded they make a seapig decal. I mean, what's the market demand on that?

It get's weirder. Apparently they're prone to getting orange parasitic snails.

They live permanently in this position, feeding on the body fluids of their host using their long proboscis (bottom right).

Jan, that is NOT cute AT ALL.

I never said it was cute! There was a clue in the headline! "OMFG!", it said. Anything that's "OMFG!" is never going to be cute. So don't say you weren't warned!

"Abyssal plains...make up almost half of the earth's surface. Crawling across these muddy plains are a variety of deep-sea animals, including sea cucumbers..." It looks like these things are everywhere. The decals must adorn a lot of research equipment. And oh, jeez, Ow. (But at least it's a pretty shell!)

Wow, we have a new logo for next year's softball team. We've been "TBD" for two seasons now, and we were thinking about changing our name to "Bye Week" in the hopes that other teams wouldn't show up. But if we could get t-shirts with that, I think we should be the Sea Pigs.

That would so rock.
