OK, if I hadn't seen this video with my own eyes, I would not have believed this little tidbit. The camera jumps around a little bit, following a newly discovered "walking fish" along the seabed dated August 28, 2002. Watch this for yourself: http://www.wimp.com/fishfind/
I found this clip tempting because I can see the headlines now - "Darwin's Theory Proved!" or, "Is This the Missing Link?" Even - "Darwin trumps God!" Yeah, right. The true question is: where Are the headlines? If this was taken in 2002...hello?
As the "Fish Find: Strange new creature with legs discovered walking on a sea bed." video suggests, it is CLEARLY a fish. Its legs are obvious fins and its face is fishy...oh, you'll see. There is no other information with this clip, oddly enough (my, how convenient). There's no telling where this is, except for the "heading marked" on the video. I'm no sailor (although my mouth mimics one from time to time), but I am sure a weathered seaman could make some sense of the "heading" at the top of the screen.
Other than that, this was cool to watch. I don't have much else to say. I just thought it interesting enough to share with our readers. What could be a more perfect specimen to publish on the Twisted Muse than a "walking fish?" Honestly, maybe it just got tired of swimming, guys. Didja ever think of that? Those are fins, not "legs."
Even so, scientists have known for a long time that we do not know our own planet well enough to know everything or every creature that inhabits it. Newly discovered creatures are found every five to ten years across the globe. If you looked into it as I have, being a fiction writer of Sci-Fi and avid reader of Horror, you'd be surprised exactly how many "discoveries" are made of "new" and interesting beings our hidden planet has to offer both above and under water.
So, just remember, if you're not Twisted, you've lost your Muse. Until next time, have a great week!
