A new species of fish has been discovered off the coast of Indonesia that would rather crawl then swim. Oh, you know what else is crawling? My skin. The fish is part of the Anglerfish family, famous for their leg-like appendages and lures that grow out of their forehead, which they like to wiggle. *shudder*

This new species does not have the lure - THANK GOD - but it does have something even creepier: human-like binocular vision. "With its unusual flattened face, the fish's eyes appear to be directed forward, something [Ted] Pietsch says he's never seen in 40 years as an ichthyologist, a scientist who studies the structure, classification and habits of fishes." You hear that, guys? IT IS WATCHING YOU.

Sure, sure - this could potentially lead to the discovery of entirely new species and change the way that science looks at the ocean. However, this could also lead to creatures climbing out of the sea to storm Manhattan and eat my gorgeous grandchildren. Seriously, I thought we had to wait another million years before this stuff became an issue. You may be rolling your eyes, but let's just hope this little guy doesn't team up with the twelve-foot jellyfish and the shark that walks on its fins.

Here is my favorite part of the news: "One of the adults laid a mass of eggs, just spotted Tuesday." The crawling fish are expecting. Wonderful. Let's get out there and have a great weekend, everybody.
