    Cyclops Shark!

    From today's NY Daily News:



    It may not be a whopper of a fish tale after all. Four months after viral Internet photos of a dead, one-eyed albino shark pup were panned as a hoax, a Mexican marine biologist has surfaced saying the fish is the real deal, LiveScience reported.

    Dr. Felipe Galvan Magana, a shark expert at the Interdisciplinary Centre of Marine Science, is reportedly on the verge of releasing a scientific paper claiming the find - which was found inside a pregnant bull shark caught by a local commercial fisherman off Cabo San Lucas is June - is a rare case of 'Cyclopia.'


    “There, in the tin factory, in the first moment of the atomic age, a human being was crushed by books.” John Hersey, Hiroshima

    Everything I post is an opinion; I do not pretend to have any facts to offer. Much of what is posted here is in jest, and is not intended to be taken seriously. The sarcasm is often so subtle it's hard to detect.

    I originally read it was found inside a dusky shark, not a bull.
    1. Always use the right tool for the job.
    2. A hammer is always the right tool.
    3. Anything can be used as a hammer.

    The article I read said the shark was real and the necropsy found the ocular tissue would have functioned but that it most likely would not have survived in the wild very long.....
