Didn't Henry I die from eating too many hagfish? Oh, wait, it was lampreys... ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_I_of_England )
So much slime, especially in the big photo. Let's not let the lady in the photo I posted see this other one...

This photo is too much! These two hapless fish-handlers have a hagfish in their grip. The woman is sporting a nauseated look, in contrast to her shirt...When the going gets tough...the tough get queasy?
The man, on the other hand, looks weary and resigned. Maybe he's even having an existential crisis. I can understand that. I can't imagine the scenario that would involve me handling a hagfish like this.

Close this window Jump to comment formI think her shirt says "When the going gets tough, the tough get duct tape."
Probably wouldn't help considering all of their "large slime glands".

DUDE! Why would anyone want to eat a lamprey... especially if they can afford anything else?
Ah, those crazy royals.
I do love the look on that lady's face. She's all, "I'm way too tough to barf... WAY TOO TOUGH... Must. Not. Gag. Breath baby, breath."
