Greetings fellow Bizarros:

The sea has mystified and terrified humankind for ages. There is just so much of it. And it's dangerous, unpredictable and indomitable, not to mention bizarre! Ancient man attributed all sorts of fantastical creatures to the sea.

The Bible, in the book of Revelation, describes a monster with seven heads and ten horns that rises from the ocean. In the book of Job you meet Leviathan, a massive sea-monster who's impervious to human weapons, breathes fire, and emits smoke from his nostrils.

And we can almost forgive the ancients their wild imaginations when we consider some of the incredible things the actually do live in the oceans like narwhals, whale sharks and giant squid...and some creatures that have yet to be discovered in the unexplored depths. Like creatures with giant, softball-sized eyeballs.

Word that a giant eyeball washed up on a South Florida beach has created a buzz on the Internet and in the marine biology community.

A man found the eyeball while taking a morning stroll along Pompano Beach just north of Fort Lauderdale. He contacted state wildlife officials, who took possession of the specimen.

The huge, blue eyeball may have come from a deep sea squid or a large sword fish, said Heather Bracken-Grissom, an assistant professor in the marine science program at Florida International University in Miami.

The professor and her colleagues concluded that the eyeball's lens and pupil are similar in shape to that of a deep sea squid. She noted that a deep sea squid's eyeball can be as large as a soccer ball and can easily become dislodged.

The mystery likely won't be solved until testing on the eyeball is completed at the Florida Fish and Wildlife Research Institute in St. Petersburg.

Bizarrely,
Lewis

*-- Preschool teacher crams 19 kids into car --*
PRETORIA, South Africa - Police in South Africa said they pulled over a preschool teacher who was found to have crammed 19 kids into her car for a trip to a shopping center. Pretoria police said Melanie Minnie, a faculty member at Rietfontein Nursery School, was pulled over in her Renault Clio and officers found she was driving 19 children back to the school from a local shopping center, The Mirror, London, reported Monday. Police said three children were in the front seat, 10 were in the backseat and six were found riding in the boot of the car. It was unclear whether any of the children were wearing seatbelts. The woman told officers she had already ferried a carload of 10 children back to the school. "It was the first time we went on an outing, and the last. I'll never do it again," Minnie told police. Minnie was fined about $160 for overloading her car.


*-- Teen had photo taken with 840 animals --*
FORT COLLINS, Colo. - A Colorado 16-year-old who has been photographed with 840 animal species says his goal is to get pictures with every animal on the planet. Tallon Nightwalker of Fort Collins said his quest began when he was 5 and his father took his picture with a bullsnake he was working with at the Fort Collins wildlife sanctuary, The Denver Post reported Monday. The teenager and his father, Bob Nightwalker, said they figure they have about 25,000 more pictures to take. "There is no doubt this has brought us together," Bob Nightwalker said. "But just as importantly, I think Tallon is helping save many of these animals, many of whom some people have never heard of before." Tallon has posted the pictures, which all feature living animals without barriers between boy and beast, on a Facebook page titled "Tallon Nightwalker's Animal Pictures."

have you sent the joke around about the guy that went to the doc with a bright orange Dick. The doc checked him out, nothing wrong so what do you do with your time? The guy says I watch porno films and masturbate. The Doc says that doesn't sound like a cause for orange dick, and the guy says oh I forgot while eating cheetos.

they would let the kid starve after they snatch up the kids lunch? Sounds like an excuse for the staff to act as bullies. And I thought that there was an ad campaign to stamp that out. -Jason

Lewis; While I agree with the right of schools to ban sales of certain items (candy, soda pop, snack chips, etc.) in their lunchrooms, it should never be tolerated for those schools to confiscate what parents may pack with lunches brought from home. If the parents feel it's okay for their child to have a Frito-Lay snack or a can of pop or a candy bar with his lunch then the school has no right to intervene.
[Don't you know that parents are not the best people to make decisions for their children? An authoritarian bureaucracy is much better.]
