Even better, a creature we can't see but we know it's here somewhere, maybe looking at us, maybe not. We don't even know what it looks like. Maybe there's nothing after all...

Surely Iceland must be civilized like the rest of the world!
Since when is the rest of the world civilized?

Well this tread seems to have gone somewhat astray...
As much as I would enjoy airing my opinions on animal dissection, in the interest of thread harmony, I'll try to stay on topic. Mostly.
I will say that when I dissected a sheep's eye in biology I had a great deal of fun creeping out my lab partner. She refused to even touch it, and if I turned it to 'look' at her she'd yelp and cover her eyes. Good times. :sly:
So I'm thinking that disembodied eyes should be added to the list of creepy things. Like the eyestalks in the Maw, I thought that they were unnerving.

I saw this documentary on Humboldt squid once. One of the guys who was diving with them had this whole suit of plastic armor he wore.
The documentary said that the squid’s aggressiveness may be triggered when the fishermen start hooking them and hauling them into the boats. Apparently when they aren't being killed they are reasonably calm.
Go figure.
I loved the watching the squid change colors; flashing between red and white so quickly it looked like they were under a strobe.

Wait, are kids no longer expected to dissect fetal pigs in high-school bio anymore?
And is Iceland where ice comes from?
ps how come all Icelanders look like sneaky little elves, and what the hell is in those milk jugs full of home-distilled swish they tote around in the dead of winter at music festivals on some volcano?

Someone has been reading uncyclopedia eh?

No, I have learned about these things from actually watching actual icelanders actually wander around with actual milk jugs full of actual moonshine.
And you're avoiding the question.
I never even heard of Uncyclopedia until just now.

Maybe you are talking about the weirdos that live on the northern part of the country. We in the south-west corner are normal. :cool:
