Mermaid carcass

by

Mermaid carcasYou can be the first kid on your block to own your very own mermaid carcass.  It was “found” in Tampa Bay.   I’ll keep my eye out for one of these the next time I cross Tampa Bay in a couple of weeks from now.

Proof that humans evolved from fish. This authentic flesh and bones mermaid came from a local bay, Tampa Bay to be precise. The skin,fins,skull,teeth, and eyes are real once living organic flesh and bones.
 Dried and preserved specimen has no fishy scent at all. A wire has been attached from the back bone so that you can hang her up on a wall.  She is 25 inches long.

The title of this piece is ‘ Maighdean Na Tuinne ‘ created by the world known artist Juan Cabana in 2008.
Signed and dated on the back.

It’s available on eBay.  Current bid is $300

Nippleless wrestlers

by

Anybody who’s ever seen a professional wrestler knows their bodies don’t look like most folks’.  But the wrestlers featured on a massive sign in downtown Orlando (Florida) look even more unusual.  They’re missing nipples.

No nipples please

Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer claimed to have the, um, skinny.   “Apparently there’s an ordinance that prohibits them from being displayed,” he said. 
“For men’s nipples?” I replied, immediately becoming uncomfortable about discussing such a thing with Buddy.
He shrugged, saying, “It does seem a little overboard.”

Killer fish terrifies Britain

by

SnakeheadA savage fish more terrifying than a piranha has been caught in Britain for the first time – sparking fears of a deadly invasion. The vicious giant snakehead eats everything it comes across and has even been reported to kill people.

The monster – from south-east Asia – has a mouth crammed with fearsome teeth, can ‘crawl’ on land and survive out of water for up to four days. It is feared the fish had been smuggled in for an aquarium and then illegally released.

Do you fold or crumple your toilet paper?

by

From Mental Floss:

TpI’ll try to put this as delicately as I can. Apparently there’s a significant debate about whether it’s better to fold several sheets of paper, or crumple them together in a bunch. One major argument in favor of the “fold” method is that depending on the quality of your paper and your folding technique, you can refold (and thus reuse) a single set of sheets. The counter-argument is that this is super-gross. I have my own opinions on this issue, but let’s just say I’ve tried multiple methodologies over the years and feel that I’ve perfected my technique.

Of the 25,100 people participating in the survey, 72% are folders and 27% are crumplers. 
Hmmmm, that leaves 1%.  Maybe they don’t use tissue.

Take the survey.

Surinam toads – Having babies the weird way….

by

Surinam toads are most well-known for their remarkable reproductive habits. The partners rise off of the floor while in amplexus and flip through the water in arcs. During each arc, the female releases 3-10 eggs, which get embedded in the skin on her back by the male’s movements. After implantation the eggs sink into the skin and form pockets over a period of several days, eventually taking on the appearance of an irregular honeycomb. The larvae develop through the tadpole stage inside these pockets, eventually emerging from the mother’s back as fully developed toads, though they are less than an inch long (2 cm).
