BERIGAN Posted January 21, 2005 Report Posted January 21, 2005 Fish Discovered With Human Face Pattern A fish that has a pattern resembling a human face on its body was found in a pond in Chongju, South Korea, according to a Local 6 News report. The news of a fish with a human face spread to South Korea through the Internet after a Japanese sports tabloid reported on the unusual fish. A South Korean newspaper then carried an article about the fish in South Korea. The fish is the result of artificial insemination between a carp and ayu sweetfish. As the fish grew larger, the design on the fish reportedly changed to look more like the face of a human being. Rare markings on a fish are considered a good omen in some Asian countries, according to a report. Watch Local 6 News for more on this story. http://www.local6.com/news/4112928/detail.html Quote
Alon Marcus Posted January 21, 2005 Report Posted January 21, 2005 Close to thread's topic. The tsunami brought out amazing fish from the deepest levels of the sea. Even though some of them look like the ones you buy in your local grocery store, some are really beautiful and scarry! Here are some pics. Quote

sidewinder Posted January 21, 2005 Report Posted January 21, 2005 (edited) I think this lovely critter is a thing called a Gulper Eel that lives in very, very deep water - hence the deformed shape. Great pics ! Edited January 21, 2005 by sidewinder Quote
Brownian Motion Posted January 21, 2005 Report Posted January 21, 2005 Some claim to see the image of the Virgin Mary is this fish's skin. To me that's just another fish tale. Quote

Alon Marcus Posted January 21, 2005 Report Posted January 21, 2005 (edited) Thanks for the info Skid. I suspected the tsunami is just being used as an advertisement for these beautiful pictures. Edited January 21, 2005 by Alon Marcus Quote
RDK Posted January 21, 2005 Report Posted January 21, 2005 Thanks for the pics Alon, whether or not they're connected to the tsunami. Fascinating stuff... But why the hell would anyone need to link such stuff to the tsunami? (I don't mean you, but whoever did so originally.) The pics are worth a look, but I think anyone seriously interested in promoting the pictures would lose all credibility once the fake tsunami connection was uncovered... Quote
