I made a message board a while back with the same pictures.

Were they the ones that were washed up from the deep following the Tsunami?

No, that was just a rumor going around. They are actually from an expedition. I cant remember the link for it though.

1st one looks like a sand crab except zoomed way in. The 2nd one looks like a weird fish I found at Seal Beach, CA.

I found the link that I was trying to remember!

I figured they'd already been posted. My boyfriend sent me the pictures with the whole tsunami story and I was like "I'll post em on UM".

Interesting link MadEyePixie.

Thanks. I have a vast knowledge of odd links.

Those pics are very old,and some retards started the original rumor that those are from a tsunami Anyway,the first pic is of a pearl deep sea isopod,second is a deep sea chimaera,third is a deep sea umbrella fish,fourth is a Prickly dogfish.Btw,MadEyePixie,that site you posted has been posted on here multiple times before.

nice fish, although i've seen them before...

they've come about again due to someone sending an email; around with those photos attached, saying that these creatures washed up after the tsunami...

Awesome pictures, although I too have already seen them. I love the third one.

Cool fish indeed. The tsunami thing is an urban legend though.

my personal favorite is the second one.

Oh.. they are soo cute!!! i just wanna hug them and squeeze them!! i love fishies!!!

Cool Pictures... i actuall havent seen a few of them.. ive seen the fish just not the exact fish...

All fish are cool

^Exactly

Weird to say the least...

Yeh, them fish are totally cool

Definitly cool pictures. Seen them before on past threads - Canadian knows this stuff off the top of his head - haven't seen him on the site recently -

I have too fish, Ray and Davis. I want too newts as well, because they be the coolest.

yup i already knew that, i'm just saying i've seen these photos quite a lot recently due to this urban legend surrounding them...

but i saw these ages ago originally......

I'm sorry, what do you mean by the tsunami as being a urban legend. When the tsunami hit, some strange sea creatures did arrive on the shore of countries, from what I know. So (not trying to start an argument, just having a normal conversation), what do you mean?

indeed i imagine many odd creatures did wash up post tsunami...

but these creatures in the photos were photographed a long time before the tsunami disaster occured....

but people have put these photos and the tsunami incident together to form a sort of fake/myth/legend with a real event but with photos that aren't from the same time....

Oh, thankyou - Well yeah I'm sure many people could/would take pictures of these random fish and combine it with the tsunami event and say that these fished washed up ashore. But what effect and what mystery does that have on us?

*shrugs* no idea, just giving a potential reason why these photos may have found there way onto this forum again...

Gotch'ya - thanks for your help guys.

no worries

Anyone else wanna post some rare pics?

I don't really have any, but I do think newts are the coolest.

Lol,they're cool,but they're not fish

I love the way they swim. Tis so cool!

...yea...especially sharks

Oh yeah. Have you seen that pic of a shark trying to eat a marine? It was debunked, btw.

As it turns out, its actually two pictures, one of the marine, and one of a shark jumping out of the water. They were combined. Clever stuff.

Dude,i made a thread about that a while ago,and i was posting a lot in the current one,and it already has been proven to be fake.I have the pic of that exact shark right here.The shark is jumping,but not in that location,and not at a chopper.

I remember.

Clever how they did it though, hmm?

It wasn't a while ago - it was like the other day -

Yea it certainly is clever - but getting off topic...

i said I made one

My bad! Sorry -
