You see that creepy critter above?  It’s making a huge stir in Asia because it is one of two carp that people say has humanoid features.  It is technically a crossbreed between the carp and the leather carp or tangerine fish (though Wikipedia says it’s a cross between a carp and an ayu sweetfish), and it is one of two female freakfish living in Chongju, South Korea.  The fish has been there for 22 years, but they’re just now getting attention.

Now I don’t really see the humanoid features all that well in the provided picture, but I can see enough to know that I’m a little freaked out.  I can definitely see why other folks see the humanoid features, as there is a slight nose-shape and the eyes are uncannily humanoid in shape and placement.  I’d like to take a better look at its head structure, but unfortunately its skull isn’t transparent.Would it be cannibalism to eat a fish with a human face, or just creepy?  I mean, if you fried it up then I imagine it’d be edible since you wouldn’t know it had a person face, but I think eating it raw like fresh sushi is kind of crossing a line.

It’s just not safe to enjoy yourself anymore, between […]

This will be the last Samsung Galaxy Note 7 to ever be on an airplane.  After all, the phone has been pulled from shelves and pockets all around the world, because the phones tend to, uh… catch fire and/or explode.  It’s not a laughing matter if you’re flying over the Rocky Mountains with one in […]

The Red Cross is a wonderful organization.  When there’s trouble, the Red Cross is there setting up shelters and handing out food and water.  The Red Cross is normally very sensitive to the community needs around them, to boot.  However, sometimes, something will slip through the cracks that just looks wrong.  One of these things is […]

One of the most famous features of Matt Groening’s fictional town of Springfield is a strange one.  Springfield is home to a giant, perpetually burning tire fire.  I guess considering the town also has a nuclear plant that routinely leaks glowing green waste into the town’s water supply, the tire fire isn’t such a big […]

Gas prices don’t usually go down.  They go up.  Gas prices rose for decades, sometimes slowly, sometimes quickly, but always up on a long enough timeline.  Not long ago, $4 a gallon for gas was a very real proposition.  Nobody thought prices would go in the other direction, and yet… gas prices are going down […]

Fashion designers look for inspiration everywhere.  Some of it is pop culture, like Friday the 13th-inspired hoodies.  Other fashions are inspired by low culture, like deluxe Snuggies.  Some people turn to the culture of their past for inspiration, like the 8-bit video games they grew up on.  Italian fashion house Moschino is partnering with Nintendo […]
