The sea pig: Jahweh's greatest mistake?

Tuesday, October 13, 2009

You know that thing people do in movies, where they see something so gross it makes them instantly vomit? I never thought that was really possible, but I'm not kidding when I say that the sight of the sea pig on Neatorama made last night's dinner repeat on me a bit. (Much as I love a $1.25 Costco hotdog, they taste a lot better going down than coming up.)

The post is about the 15 weirdest animals around, but I got as far as the sea pig pictures and that was all I could take. It's like some microscopic STD bacteria that just kept growing. No, it's like a creature from a William S. Burroughs story, a colon polyp that sprouted a hundred little baby feet and wriggled its way free of some sick junkie's body. It's like all the bubblegum wads under all the desks in an abandoned high school came together to form one horrible, gestalt entity. It's like... It's like nothing that should really exist, is what it's like. Why is this thing real? Why are unicorns imaginary, while this waddling little nightmare is real?

If there is a God, he is one seriously twisted S.O.B.

Who is he, this one who is called "Greg Stacy"?
