Nah. Eyeballs are pretty neat. One of the moments of my childhood that I find disturbing, looking back of the craziness of childhood, was poking a dead fish in the eye. Now, before you judge me, realize I was too young to think of it as anything more than an object. I didn't really connect the "once alive" dots. At any rate, the eyeball popped and cured me of my pokes. Now, taking the very curvy, very on medication road here, what I'm trying to say is, whatever happened for that eye to wind up like that must have been some epic underwater awesomesauce and a swordfish that big might as well be a sea monster. It might seem humdrum, but as a New Englander, I know not to fuck with ze swordfish. Well, New England and Hemingway can teach that. Pick one.

Not weird at all. I used to love poking holes in the hamburger at the super market... squishy. That reminds me of going fishing with my granddaddy with live shrimp. When you put them on the hook their eyes would POP! Very gross, yet oddly satisfying and interesting. Poor shrimp... Life at the bottom of the food chain would suck.

It is a hell of an opportunity to give the creatards a lesson in evolution, too.

Can I resist the temptation?





Fuck no!

Quote:Zoologists have answered the intriguing question of why swordfish keep their eyes warm while the rest of the body remains resolutely cold-blooded: it's all the better to see their prey with.

Heat-assisted eyes work more than ten times faster than those cooled to the coldest deep-sea temperatures of around 3 ºC, report Kerstin Fritsches of the University of Queensland in Brisbane, Australia, and her colleagues. This increased 'temporal resolution' helps swordfish to catch dinner in the inky depths.

You see creatards, the human eye lacks this evolutionary advantage because we don't have to worry about our eyes getting too cold. In such ways does natural selection work..... and your fucking god doesn't work at all.

What happen to the rest of the fish?

I was born here. Sad

Also, four reps away from breaking 100? We must have a party when you pop that cherry.
