They have a highly sensitive lateral line system, with sensory pores that run over the head and down the length of the body to help them feel vibrations in the water around them."I swear, Mom had those sensory pores and could feel vibrations. "Hey you kids, KNOCK IT OFF in there!!"

That’s one primeval sumbtich. Wow.
I’d soil me pantaloons if I ever saw one of those.

“Butter and lemon?”
You’d better have a bunch of them like french fries. They’re only 1-1/4 inches long.

My favorite is still the Coelacanth, leftover from the Cretaceous Period.

I always thought she had eyes in the back of her head. It all comes clear now.

Looks like a sole from an Air Jordan or something. Filet of Sole. Interesting fish though.

Yes, Coelacanth. I learned about him sometime in my Wonder Years. Have never lost my amazement at such a thing. My favorite primeval sumbitch, too.

Just finished reading “A Fish Caught in Time : The Search for the Coelacanth” by Samantha Weinberg (2001). I bought it new from a book dealer on Amazon.

Pretty good timing. Coelocanth waited a long time to inspire this conversation.)
Something about the Sea holds a great terror for me, along with the awe I feel. A bit too much below the water line for me to be comfortable.

I think that it’s cruel for people to post photos of Joy Behar when she’s out swimming.

#3. Haven’t you seen recent pictures of Nancy Pelosi?
Whalefish don’t bother anyone. Pelosi is an existential threat to all forms of known life.

#10. There is something fishy about your comments. Can you scale them down a bit? /sarc
