to be a female angler fish..

last night, i watched animal planet's "top 10 most extreme" and they featured the top 10 animals with the weirdest appendages. and whaddaya know.. #1 on the list is the female deep sea angler fish (freaky looking picture, huh?). some interesting facts about this weird fish:
  • The females are much larger than the male. The female can be the size of a grapefruit when the male can be up to your little finger which is about 2. 5 inches.
  • The male attaches himself to the female by biting into the skin and that will be the last bite it ever takes! After that they become inseparable and the male depends on the female for all food and nourishment. Their bodies will become one and the male will lose all its organs and even his eyes!
totally weird!! it's so strange it's way cool! hahaha.

imagine if all guys were (1/40)th the size of us females. ha! we could totally dominate them!! they'd be nothing more than an extra appendage - their bodies (the organs, nutrients.. the whole she-bang) eventually absorbed into the bloodstream. they'd just be a means of reproducing. without the hassle of any complicated relationship. nyahahahaha! (evil laugh)

ok, enough dreaming. i think i seriously need to rest..
