Effed Up. One of the creepiest damn things to make it through the business end of natural selection.

Wow, it's kinda like Aliens, where the little mouth comes shooting out at you. One more reason I'm glad I'm not an avid diver.

Certain fish are scary. Yes. Yes they are.

When I saw that video, all I could think was "Nom nom nom."

I to have a fear of fish! I refuse to swim in lakes and rivers because of it.

It all stems back to when I almost drowned in the Columbia river at the age of 2. It is one of my few early memories. The current was strong enough that It held me at the bottom on my back and the thought of the fishes eating me really freaked me out. A unknown lifeguard was the only person to see me go under.
