  1. Blowfish: I know it’s hard to believe, but those blowfish aren’t just sold in Florida. My friend runs a shell shop in New Jersey and they are sold all along the East Coast. Those fish are dried and if they are exposed to water again they start to disintegrate. It would not have made it. It is very possible it blew up the coast because of the storm. When the hurricanes hit Florida and the south in 2017 we started getting shells from there. Sure people dump their collection into the water, but this was on mass in different locations off-season. Since most of these creatures can’t stand the cold winters here they die, but when they adapt you maybe get a new subspecies. Storms create more than they destroy.

    1. I found the pictures of the fish on Twitter.

      I also checked with my friend who owns the shop, she said most of them come from the Philippines and are imported to the US via suppliers.

      If it had little googly eyes glued to it’s head, or evidence of hot glue, it could be a shell shop blowfish. Another clue is if it was covered in lacquer to preserve it. Unfortunatly I can’t tell from the photo, too blurry. Massachusetts just went through the same Nor’easter we did, but they got several feet of flooding. Who knows what floated out of where.

  2. It’s time to make human-chimpanzee hybrids.

    OMG! The author of that piece is so delightfully wrong that I must use them as a character in fiction.

    – I’ve put the article in the character folder. I shall call him “David”.

    Think Island of Dr. Moreau, the bad one with Brando, not the good one with Burt Lancaster.

    – Story is Conflict, and I was missing that vital essence to make the Scientist sing!

    I made an earlier comment when you guys posted about:

    Should a human-pig chimera be treated as a person?

    Slide down and you will see my comment with links on how we already are a hybrid of pigs and chimpanzees.
