With so many drugged-up rats, repetition is necessary for their burned-out brains.

These remind me of the parasitic bugs that implant in a fish’s mouth, chew up their tongue, and feed on the food entering the fish’s mouth.

Hell, I was just joking, I didn’t know people actually ATE the things!
Looks like a lot of work for that small amount of meat.
I can’t imagine what the market price for one would be.

They should have called it Bathynomus bidenteus because it is so far underwater.

LOL- a ‘primitive spear-fisherman’ will deep dive to capture it

Poor Mikey tried pop rocks and died (there was a rumor back then that he died of po rocks lol)

Probably a fortune in Asian markets. Just tell everyone it stiffens your little feller.

"...A group of football-sized isopods have been roaming the seafloor like giant, blown-up roly-poly bugs for 200 or 300 million years, even through the dinosaur extinction event...."

Well, the roly-poly bug is a fellow isopod.
