Re: ROFL Gwynzer!

Yeah, that thing went absolutely crazy, I was completely baffled.  I only posted it because a work colleague asked if it was edible, the amount of people from different fields that use the site they mentioned are amazing, so someone was bound to know.   Also, guy I was speaking with from National Geographic actually managed to track down the Source about a month after I posted them.

Unfortunately failed to include the best picture on all the websites (that's the first picture people originally saw when I asked the question.  They'd click the first link and it'd open up to a monitor-sized version of the beasts face).  That thing really made me shudder.

Cute from afar, maybe.  After zooming in on my pictures I have no intention of going near one. tongue  After reading about what the small ones do, it makes me even less willing.

For those that don't know, small isopods eat the tongue of a fish, sit where the tongue was and gets to snag anything the fish brings into its mouth.  Eugh, imagine what the big ones would do.
