Cleaning out some old tabs of random interesting stuff I've found lately. Here, have some nightmare fuel. The little "appendage" near the back of the belly? That's not an appendage. It is in fact the male anglerfish who bites the female and becomes a parasite living off of her blood and supplying her with sperm. The full article is on !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! . Be warned, the pictures are nightmare fuel. And I didn't even bother watching the video that is embedded in the article. I have my limits.

You should actually go watch that video, it was pretty neat. They're CT scanning a specimen they have in order to figure out what is in it's belly; it is the largest specimen on record so they didn't want to cut it open to figure out what was in there.

"The deep sea angler fish collects glowy, glowy bacteria in its wavy thing to create a tiny little light because it's dark as hell down there and someone needs to light up that pretty, pretty lady."
At 27 years old that still made me laugh my ass off.

A buddy of mine had an anglerfish dance when we were in our early 20s. He'd creep up behind a girl, hang his arm over her head, and when she turned around... BAM! Hit her with the chloroform and drag her lifeless body off the dance floor.

The Oatmeal has a great comic about the Angler Fish.

Change, "supplying her with sperm," to "supplying her with money " and that pretty much sums up my relationship with my ex.
