Maybe the Terror Fish Article Overdid It

There was an article I wrote earlier, The Terror of Meiacanthus grammistes and the Venom It Uses - Science, as I also posted a picture of this creature's skull and this is one seriously terrifying marine organism.  It really does also carry poisonous venom so it seems it should be deadly ... except for the fact it's only 5-10 cm | 2-4 in in size.  It probably couldn't bite you even if it tried.

The Rockhouse irony might have slipped off the beam just a tad with that one.


Perhaps this does a little better.


We really don't know what it is but we're sure it bites


There's no need to worry about Meiacanthus grammistes but you ought to keep a look out for this one.  As you can see from his skin, there's a strong chance he's one of the undead.

Ed:  why do you think that's a man?

Why do you think I care?  Ha.



We see pundits constantly playing at being fortune tellers but there are so many mystics out of work.  Just ask Mama Katerina.


Tip:  get a crystal ball on eBay for about twelve bucks and you too can see the future.  I love the hat and the robe is spectacular.  The Rockhouse approves.




In case you think smart cars are anything new.  Those rolling death traps have been around for at least sixty years.  They've become more and more function-challenged over the years to the point at which they're now just glorified golf carts.


Now here's a vehicle from when cars ruled the road:


This car looks like the one Mister Toad drove in his wild ride.

Note:  "The Wind in the Willows" remains required reading for Ithaka where we like science but we love Mister Toad.
