See-Through Fish

fish head.jpg

The barreleye (Macropinna microstoma for you ichthyologists) is a deepwater fish that has a see-through, fluid filled head in which it moves its eyeballs. And that, dear reader, is freaking awesome.

Barreleyes, just a few inches long, are thought to eat small fishes and jellyfish. The green pigments in their eyes may filter out sunlight coming directly from the sea surface, helping the barreleye spot the bioluminescent glow of jellies or other animals directly overhead. When it spots prey (such as a drifting jelly), a barreleye rotates its eyes forward and swims upward, in feeding mode.

What a freak! Reminds me of a girl I used to date that had a wandering eye. My God that turned me on. When she was looking at you it was like she was looking through you. Well, with her good eye anyways, the other was always wandering over your shoulder. Damn I miss that eye.

Thanks to Pat, who has eyes in the back of his head that he can’t use because he needs a haircut.

    I know I’m a little late in adding my comments but this particular article made me think. It was an intriguing blog post. I have become a returning visitor to your site since I came across your site a while back. I can’t say that I agree with all you mentioned but it was definitely fascinating! I manage a small firm that arranges financing for businesses. You could say I focus in Hard Money Lending and deal with folks that banks don’t lend to anymore. I’m trying to create American jobs so I hope you’ll allow me including my link in this post. I’m not sure if my other post went through so I’m attempting again. Thank you again for an intriguing piece. I will be back again soon.

    Thanks for your post. One other thing is when you are promoting your property yourself, one of the concerns you need to be aware about upfront is just how to deal with property inspection reviews. As a FSBO owner, the key to successfully moving your property and saving money on real estate agent income is knowledge. The more you recognize, the simpler your property sales effort will be. One area where by this is particularly essential is assessments.
