  • This has to be one of the freakiest creatures that ever lived. The Wikipedia page has a couple of very compelling artists' depictions that make it fairly clear how it got its name.

  • Whoa! I think I'm seeing things!

    This is classic: "The 0.5 to 3 cm-long animal is wormlike--that is, long and narrow--with a poorly defined blob, or stain, on one end. This 'blob' was arbitrarily designated the 'head' even though it had none of the features generally associated with heads."

    Hmm.

  • But what if someone looked at your tailpipe and declared it your head? This worries me.

    September 4, 2008

  • *wheels around suddenly*

    September 4, 2008

  • Don't worry. Reesetee is just hallucinating again. ;)

    September 4, 2008

  • Not true. I distinctly spotted a poorly defined blob that should be a head. I just know it.

  • *hides mirror from reesetee*

    September 5, 2008

  • No, no. I believe it was your poorly defined blob I spotted, my friend.

    Either that or your tailpipe. I can't tell anymore. I'm hallucinating.

  • Oh my goss...this is one freakt little beast...imagine how many people who would think that they are seeing things when they see this, (if it wasn't extinct)
