No fins either? Well, everyone has their limitations.

the grand plan of life

I always find it amusing that even evolutionists cannot avoid using the language of creation. Can't have a plan without a Planner, after all. It's simply not possible.

Ick...er, I mean ichthys!!! You don’t want to find that in your nut-and-honey breakfast cereal!

[Silentgypsy]

Ping?

[decimon]

Thanks.

“faceless and brainless” - That’s half of the internet.

[MIchaelTArchangel]

Looks like a typical Congressman except for the backbone.

[Brytani]

Could be, could be.

[Darksheare]

They spotted Bawny Fwank?
Or was it Nancy Pelosi without her “Face in a Jar?

[grey_whiskers]

That's great. What's the survival value of no face, no brain, barely a spine?

...outside of Congress?

If a brain and a face are survival advantage (as are fins), why hasn't its niche been crowded out? The sea isn't THAT inhomogeneous on the scale of this fish's stomping grounds, is it?

Cheers!

And I thought the Hussein Obamas were vacationing in Hawaii?

Why does dame Pelosi wear beads?

So she’ll know how far down to stop shaving

Possible reference for elucidation

The Burgess Shale Formation, located in the Canadian Rockies of British Columbia, is one of the world’s most celebrated fossil fields,[2] and the best of its kind.[3] It is famous for the exceptional preservation of the soft parts of its fossils. At 505 million years (Middle Cambrian) old[4] it is one of the earliest fossil beds containing the imprints of soft-parts.

Ah! - Finally a “progressive” fish has “evolved.”

It can't be a republican ancestor. It has a spine.

Creepy. Seriously creepy. One of the few posts that might have been improved by not having pictures.

I assume you are talking about the Pelosi pic (heh, heh).
