    That is one crazy looking fish. Reminds me of something you would see on Sesame Street or a Jim Henson movie.

    @Friday Yep, the Cookie Monster. I had the same thought.

      Thanks for sharing the frogfish video.
      It piqued my curiosity and I went looking for more.

      If ever there was a time for super slow motion cameras. We could be watching a frog fish bite in 1/6000 of a second but instead we get a bunch of water balloons popping.

      Education is extremely important.

        We often have the situation at dinner that everybody else is waiting for somebody to finish his or her meal.

        I wonder whether that happens at the Frogfish's dinner table, too.

          I also wonder how long it takes frogfishes to finish their sex business.

            I don't know, but I bet frogfish fellatio is a no-go.

                        The guy with his whole torso hanging out of the SUV would have been fairly screwed if the cheetah had taken an interest in him.

                            I want to know why you're following this twitter-er.

                            The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

                                      Is anyone else getting blanks on Jon's posts? This is the second thread this has happened for me; the first was one earlier that others responded to but I had noplace to click to see what he was referring to.
