Deep Sea Fish!

by joelf

September 9th, 2004

An Australian - New Zealand team of scientists have been studying deep sea fish. From May to June they have been dredging the bottom of the ocean to report on the “nature and potential vulnerability of these unique habitats and their biodiversity”.

I’m completely fascinated by these things. The Rat Fish has a drum machine in it’s swim bladder to attract a mate. The fish on the right is a Humpback Anglerfish. It can’t swim, her mate’s the size of a jellybean, and she can eat anything up to three times her size because of an inflatable stomach. The Fangtooth’s teeth are so large, when it’s mouth is closed they actually sit inside it’s head, straddling it’s brain.
There are lots of other fish squid crabs and ’things’ in the hard to navigate creature feature. I have found that by clicking the link then going back and clicking a new link is the best way to go through it. All the images are large, but have been shrunken down by HTML. If you want to see them, drag the photo into IE’s address bar and it will bring it up full-size.

Hello,

joel01.jpgI am an accomplished lab assistant & evil henchman with many awards and much acclaim. How ever I feel a need to change my profession as of late, the rewards of reanimating the dead pale in comparison to the rewarding work I did with the machines themselves.

Brain Surgeon Seeks Employment

Good Evening,

My name is Herr Joel Von Friesen and I am seeking employment in your medical clinic. My previous employment with the Transylvanian College of Women, as head of the Department of Medical Science and Unnecessary Surgical Procedures (neurology, physiology and podiatry) has given me the back ground in a working lecture hall and medical theatre. My specialty in Neurology and brain surgery has earned me high honors in Transylvania’s list of top 100 baron bachelors, and Time magazine’s “most feared” man of the year award in 1972.

joel53.jpgI know what you must be thinking, “Why would such a top ranking and highly acclaimed neurosurgeon apply for work at my clinic?” This I can answer in a single phrase: I need fresh corpses for my experiments!

Who wouldn’t love to put together a high velocity weapon? Who knew it could be made with a coat hanger and tin foil? The guys at Science Toys did!

They have been spending their time perfecting the art of making things that could hurt you. All made out of house common hold items.

Browsing the site will give you other fun ways to waste an afternoon, like:

Though these things are under the guise of “science fun”, most educated people can tell that it is a program designed to arm civilians and lead a revolt.

You be the judge
