    You know, hucksters have been making those things since the Middle Ages, that image in particular has also been known as the Monkfish (no relation to the character on the Fast Show). There is a bit better picture here.

    I find this one amusing because it is enduring. I have a book of images from the Middle Ages that has this very critter in it. Somewhere along the line I had read what it is made of, something like a halibut and a skinned monkey, very disturbing, people who would do that for a bit of attention.

    Cow

    "After doing some research, Eyewitness News 4 has concluded that the creature probably lived in the ocean at one time and probably isn’t either a chupacabra or an alien. Eyewitness News 4 at 10:00 on Friday will explore what the creature may have been."

    Ahhh i love local news stations

    Fark.com got to this one earlier.

    It turned out to be a cut up and dessicated skate. Pics are in the thread

    but here's one anyways:

    Better start apologizing for that remark right now, Muffinman, it would probably be in your best interest to do so. That was not only an erroneous comment, but racist and not funny whatsoever.

    We all make mistakes, MuffinMan, nobody's perfect, but it takes a mature person to realize when they are wrong and to apologize. Thank you.
