This picture makes me giggle. The liplessness makes him look kinda Aardmanesque to me. Imagining the voice that would come out of this mouth is the most fun I've had all day.
Normally I check in here and the most I do is wrinkle my nose at whatever ugly is up. This made me yell out "yeeeeaaalghhh" - I'm glad I'm home today and not in cubicle-world. What a crayyyyzee critter.

Wow...you are such a great writer! I just love reading your blog. I hope you'll write a book someday and publish it because I love you. I mean, I love READING everything you write. I bet you're really hot. Keep it up big guy! :x
LOL! "Heather/arachnophile" here. I LOVE this critter. We're all used to the occasionally poisenous and wicked looking beaks on our cheph friends but THIS is just too delicious. I mean - look at this GUY! He the appearance of TEETH - AMAZING. ;) The Big Guy has a sense of humor. ;)
Haha, Booge, you're not alone with thoughts immediately going to the voice issuing outta a mouth like that...I was snorting over a whole array of possibilities. Some, admittedly, much more mature than others. *coughs*
"Cthulhu FOR PRESIDENT!" Yes! *waves campaign flag happily*

I know at least two human males with similar smiles. I think there's been some grafting on the Tree of Life...

I think this is "Spontaneous Opera Singing" in action.
BATS. That's it! That's why it kinda creeped me out for a minute, like I couldn't remember something. I have a Prof who grins like this and it makes me want to punch him...I wish I had a photo of him to mess with on photoshop now.
Sorry to dissapoint you guys. Tree of Life is filled out by professionals and AVID nature-nerds so unless this was site-agreed upon april-fools-joke, then it's real! Check out the site. They have other pictures of the discerning characteristics of the species that have nothing to do with the 'mouth'.
Though, I have seen some pretty detailed jokes on other science sites so *shrug* could happen.

Do you know the maple mesos? It is very interesting and if you have enough mesos,you can be strong. So i often go to play the game to get more and more cheap mesos, sometimes i can get the maplestory mesos from my friends who i know in the game. However i like the game very much because of the maple story mesos, i want to play the game more often.
Later my friends told me that if I want to play the game better I should go to earn the Perfect World Gold, so I was very quickly risen to thirty levels, and then I started to play the game alone.I go to Buy Perfect World Gold to treat myself in this game. However she was also very sad when I was hurt, she was sorry about this to me and I did not complain her at last. I was very happy and we went to earn the Perfect World Silver to equip us to become strong. Today I play the game again and I can get a lot of Perfect World money for her, I take her to upgrade and then add her experience. I have a lot of cheap Perfect World Gold and I want to give her in the game, i can have a lot of pw gold if my skills of playing the game well.
You're looking into the face/maw/undercarriage of Promachoteuthis sulcus. It's hard to find any information on this squid, but Heather, our resident cephalopodophile, has provided us with a wealth of photos.
I'm not sure what that hammy grin is all about, or what those teeth are meant to chew on. I'm guessing apples and acorns are off the menu, though.
Thanks for the links, Heather. It would seem that trawling the depths of the Tree of Life website can yield some amazing results.

I have no idea if either the link or embed will work in here so, sorry. Enjoy if it works!
Back when Wombat posted a couple pictures of our vampy-squid friend winking, someone asked for a gif of it. I did my best:
Wink WINK
If I am violating any copyright infringments - Justin had nothing to do with it. ;)

This is so creepy. It reminds me of a Terry Gilliam movie.

I love it! It almost looks photoshopped it's so surreal.

Real life is better than fiction. I'd like to see a movie of him chomping around, or delivering the "To be or not to be" soliloquy from "Hamlet."
That would be Terry Gilliam-esque.
