A fishy tale

OK, you've probably all seen these by now, but I think they're cool so here's Ray Troll's Tiktaalik posters. Ray Troll is sort of like a rock star in the exciting fast paced world of fish illustration and for good reason. His art has a whimsy unmatched except perhaps by MC Escher. I totally love it! Be sure to check out his gallery if you're unfamiliar with this wonderful Alaskan artist.

Just in case you've been in a cave, or the Bush Whitehouse, Tiktaalik roseae is a 375 million year old never-before-discovered species of fish that represents a missing link in the evolutionary tree of life from when our flippery friends first hefted themselves out of the ocean to frolic in the mud on rudimentary limbs.

On edit: I swear there must be something wrong with me because this is one of the cutest critters I've ever seen. Keep your fluffy kitties. I'll take one of these for a pet any day!


Comments:
I think it's nice God created a missing link for us, don't you?

Seriously, though. What a huge story!
 
I love missing links.
They totally rock.
Though, I have to say that growing up in Alaska, I saw this guy's shit everywhere.
And while part of me likes it, and can admire his abilities, part of me is still screaming "Make the tourists stop!"
 
Madame, which would you wager is worst... Alaskan sight-seeing tourists or baseball tourists? I grew up in Cooperstown, NY so I can certainly appreciate a healthy disdain of tourists.
 
j.r., I agree. This is a huge story.
 
Oh man, we get the really stupid questions like "Do you live in igloos?" And nothing but old people in RVs for months.
Shudder.
That, and the slimers.
What've you got for baseball annoyances? (Having never been to Cooperstown)
Though, I got to say, I also got the Browns Fans in Ohio. Those people are a class of psychotic all to themselves.
 
Slimers? tng is intrigued.

I think with the baseball fans it's the way they treat the town and area as some sort of theme park. It's like they think we're all re-enactors at Williamsburg or something and we're there to amuse them.
 
Slimers=people who work the slime line at the fish canneries.
Hilary Rodham was one.
They pollute the town with their camping and their horrid fishy smell.
