"Deep sea fish take ugliness to new level, says Niwa"
"says Niwa"
Actual quote from Niwa in the article:
Quotes from or attributions to Niwa about how ugly/monstrous/gross/icky the fish are: 0Niwa fisheries scientist Peter McMillan said the discoveries revealed how little we knew about the ocean's riches - less than 0.002 per cent of the deep sea environment has been sampled.
"The deeper we go, the less we know. Our knowledge of fishes decreases with increasing depth."
Glad you're back James.
ReplyDeleteThey don't need to justify this claim, it's common knowledge, just like the fact that women have smaller brains than men, and that black people like fried chicken. Sorry, LOVE fried chicken.
ReplyDeleteI don't trust this NIWA guy anyway, as he's unnecessarily pluralised the word fish.
I'm surprised those fish grow larger than nuclear submarines as well.
ReplyDeleteThat fnordfish sure is ugly

ReplyDeletePresumably that's down to their steady diet of motorboat-sized megasnapper.
I got really confused by this: why did they put the Sky Tower at the bottom of the sea? And do they realise the fishing boat on the surface is like 200m long?
ReplyDeleteas he's unnecessarily pluralised the word fish.
ReplyDeleteThat's because he's talking about fish of multiple species.
Dance ti' thy daddy, sing ti' thy mammy,
ReplyDeleteDance ti' thy daddy, ti' thy mammy sing;
Thou shall hev a fishy on a little dishy,
Thou shall hev a haddock when the boat comes in.
