Oh come on I have been posting this picture in threads forever.

Metope · « **Reply #201 on:** 21 Jan 2009, 16:10 »

That fish looks like it has human teeth.

That is a straight up awful picture

When I was young, my parents accidentally switched it when they taught me the meanings of "awesome" and "awful"

I am not usually made uneasy by pictures of deep-sea creatures, but this one did it.

Guys I replaced my tongue with an isopod years ago. All the cool kids were doing it. I mean c'mon, tongue piercings are so tame these days.

Professor Snuggles · « **Reply #207 on:** 21 Jan 2009, 16:37 »

Now I am thinking about the idea of an isopod blowjob and it totally fucks my brain.

ViolentDove · « **Reply #208 on:** 21 Jan 2009, 16:39 »

You'd have to buy me and my isopod dinner first. We don't just put out for nothing, you know.

Man those things are so fucking cool

How do you not remember Tommy's phobia of isopods? I thought everyone knew that by now.

Lines · « **Reply #210 on:** 21 Jan 2009, 17:32 »

I said that because we all found out about his isopod phobia because of that particular photo and creature.

Professor Snuggles · « **Reply #211 on:** 21 Jan 2009, 17:47 »

No, we found out about it because of these pictures and creatures.

They call out to him and say

Tommy.

We were not meant to be.

Spluff · « **Reply #212 on:** 21 Jan 2009, 17:49 »

Man that tongue isopod was on the last page

Alex C · « **Reply #217 on:** 21 Jan 2009, 22:08 »

I find it funny that the thread got bumped like this by a regular despite the fact that Jeph's been selling an isopod t-shirt and everything for a while now. The damned things are practically our mascot.

Verergoca · « **Reply #218 on:** 22 Jan 2009, 03:10 »

But what came first, the isopod or the tshirt?

Depends who was better in bed.

(I totally just ordered one of those shirts and I cannot wait until it arrives)

Metope · « **Reply #220 on:** 22 Jan 2009, 06:28 »

Oh look!

It's the iSopod!

That isopod looks good in you. It looks good as part of your body.

I am sorry to post without a picture of one of these evil little creatures, but I will admit that the above phrase sounds like something the parasite's victims tell to people, or whisper into the minds of their host.

Liz · « **Reply #222 on:** 22 Jan 2009, 08:21 »

KRIS.

Apparently you need validation for you artworks so I would just like to say that that iSopod made me giggle like a little schoolgirl.

GreyGabe · « **Reply #223 on:** 22 Jan 2009, 10:40 »

Oh man, Cymothoa exigua is terrifying in every possible way I can think.

Ditto.

Now, I didn't see anyone link this, so...

I am now officially terrified of the sea and everything in it.

Alex C · « **Reply #224 on:** 22 Jan 2009, 11:07 »

Pfft, whatever man, cuttlefish ain't not thang. At least not compared to this, which has been linked on these forums before, but since you're not a regular around these parts, I figured you might uh, appreciate it.

GreyGabe · « **Reply #225 on:** 22 Jan 2009, 11:11 »

That is pretty scary. Not in my top five scariest things I have seen, but pretty up there. Probably much more horrifying in person, though.

Allybee · « **Reply #230 on:** 25 Feb 2009, 15:17 »

the green things pointed upwards are the eyes and the two things in front that appear to be eyes are for smelling things.

onewheelwizzard · « **Reply #231 on:** 25 Feb 2009, 15:22 »

I watched the video

that shit is crazy

ledhendrix · « **Reply #232 on:** 25 Feb 2009, 15:25 »

Aww man I linked to that in meebo this morning, that thing is fucking awesome.

Also Frilled Shark

These things look terrifying

Also, beware the Street Sharks!

Holy shit, flashback. Thank you.

I don't know what this is, but it look like it came out of a Final Fantasy random encounter.

Ratfish I believe. I was at a marine lab open day and got to see one of them along with lots of other deep sea nonsense, it was pretty awesome.

-As they swim gracefully about the ocean, the ratfish can be seen doing barrel rolls and corkscrew turns, as if they were flying.

Do a.. Ah.. Dead meme.

Thanks for the information.

skinnyfat · « **Reply #237 on:** 25 Feb 2009, 22:03 »

This is probably the most amazing fish I have ever seen.

http://www.geekologie.com/2009/02/i_see_your_brain_fish_has_seet.php

Got to love those deep sea fish.

Orbert · « **Reply #238 on:** 26 Feb 2009, 09:05 »

Thanks but, um, isn't that the same fish that Ally posted yesterday?

Genbot2500 · « **Reply #239 on:** 26 Feb 2009, 12:30 »

Slimehag

SLIMEHAG

Also, coconut octopus

Orbert · « **Reply #240 on:** 26 Feb 2009, 14:52 »

Coconut octopus sounds like a dessert. A really bad dessert.

Spluff · « **Reply #241 on:** 26 Feb 2009, 15:00 »

oh my god coconut octopus is the greatest thing

also Slimehag gives some pretty awful connotations

Like slimebag.

Okay, maybe with some chocolate sauce. And ice cream. Coconut octopus with ice cream and chocolate sauce... yum!

Spluff · « **Reply #244 on:** 26 Feb 2009, 15:49 »

No man just look at that thing

It's like at first it is still trying to hold up the charade that octopi can't walk, and is at least trying to disguise it, but when things heat up it abandons all pretenses and just sprints the fuck out of there

Genbot2500 · « **Reply #245 on:** 27 Feb 2009, 00:56 »

man, i got a lot of silly cephalods.. Like the dumbo octopus

It's totally cute for a squid

And the glass squid, who has orange polka dots for some reason.. And is see through

ledhendrix · « **Reply #246 on:** 27 Feb 2009, 03:29 »

Dumbo octopus are pretty sweet.

This is the one thing everyone should know about. Immortal Jellyfish.

The slimehag/hagfish is also the only craniate (that is, critter with a skull) that doesn't have a vertebral column. It can also tie itself in knots.

Also, there's the buckets of slime thing.

Why would you want to read about a worm?

Because it crawls up into things and makes them commit suicide.
