Caught this today and thought 'It's not going to be a good 2009'.
Why? a) Just look at the size of that thing. b) Anything with triangular eyes is going to have a whole different value system to us - you just know it. c) It's going to have the Isopod equivalent of Spidey-sense and it's going to spookily know that I'm an inveterate consumer of crustacea which must, if family resemblances are anything to go by, be very, very closely related even if only on the distaff side. d)You also just know that at least one of these monsters is going to go over the wire in the not too distant future. I mean how are they going to keep them in? It's not like they're going to need tools to break out. Even if he doesn't need the bolt cutters under his nose, he's carrying his own set of lock picks right there up front bold as brass. This cat is seriously tooled up. He just needs a cape and a Podmobile and it's 'Beware Gotham!'
Now Weymouth is just down the road and I want to know how much of a head start I've got given that it's going to take the Sea Life Centre anything up to 24 hours to realise one has escaped because the others will be moving around deceptively and hey... you can't tell 'em apart, can you? So probably within a day or two one of these babies could be tap, tap tapping on my front door asking, in the most innocuous way of course, if I've got any spare dead fish and, since spare dead fish is kind of unusual in the Rico household things are, as they say, going to get ugly. These little beauties seem to be the binmen of the ocean floor and you know what happens if you're not nice to your binmen. The terrestrial ones tip your detritus on your door step. I suspect one of these guys will just sever a limb and carry it off to sustain him on his search for dead fish.
Why couldn't they just have left them where they were? Photos would've fine. Honestly.
