This thing looks like a fish that belongs in the Alien movies. I don't know about you guys, but I don't think I would pick one up if I saw it in the water. Photo is from the article on !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! .

A fisherman in waters north of New Zealand came across an odd-looking, translucent sea creature swimming on the surface. Curious, he caught the creature—presumably scooping it up with a net—to get a closer look.

It was described as a see-through, shrimp-like creature !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! .

"It felt scaly and was quite firm, almost jelly like, and you couldn't see anything inside aside from this orange little blob inside it," fisherman Stewart Fraser told MailOnline.

Mr. Fraser took pictures which were sent to the National Marine Aquarium in Plymouth, U.K. where they identified it as a Salpa maggiore ( !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! ).

So Oppo, would you touch one of those? I for one would not, that thing creeps me out.

I'd try to put my dick in it.

You are sick and twisted. I like your style, though the fact that I laughed at that makes me a little concerned.

On the plus side your chances of running into that thing are probably pretty slim. And if you do, you're probably encased in about 5" of steel and titanium, so there isn't much that could do. Besides give you nightmares.

It's already done that, and I'm nowhere near the ocean. The fact that this thing exists is horrifying.

Maybe we can go halfsies on a psychologist?

I dunno man. Not sure halfsies is enough for either of us.

I'd probably just try to put my dick in it anyways

It is a sea salp. From what I got out of the Wikipedia article they are sort of like inside out jelly fish that feed on plankton. They swim by pumping like a jelly fish, but have feeding filters on the inside instead of tentacles on the outside.

The psychologist or the sea salp?

No, actually I wasn't. I only imagine putting my dick in real women.

Those aren't real women; they're fictional characters.

Clearly, this fish does not want to be seen.

Because you only have one dick. So I guess both could be done, just not at the same time. And at this point in the conversation "going halfsies" on the psychologist has taken on a whole different meaning.

Yeah, apparently they've been crossbreeding with CalzoneGolem's.
