I found this picture a few days ago in a magazine .. but the wired thing is that they did not give any information about it .. only what was written on it .. they only put it saying that this wired looking fish was found in China's Sea .. does any body know about this thing??
It really has a scary face .. it looks like a human's face with a fish's body ..

that is just nasty!! it gives me the creeps

*shudders*

That´s really creepy. Looks like some curse on some dude or something......ewww.

It's a Willy

Willy?

"OMG"

It looks like one of those genie in a jar thingies!!

yes actually it does

thats weird.

Eeeuuu that is one bad lookin mutha. You have to give us more info on this dj. i.e. what was the magazine? Why was the picture there? What did it represent? What was the caption?

@ Halo & Neenron

......bad, bad girls

Yeah.... there is a piece of art that managed its way into "science" if I ever saw one.

it looks like that thing in the bottom of the tequila bottle from one of the polterguist movies *spellcheck*

Sorry ((j6P))
but as I said the magazine did not provide any info about it .. it was just there .. that is the silly thing about it .. and the magazine is an Arabic one .. so you might not know it any way ..
That is the reason I put it here .. I want to know if any body of you Guys and Galls know any thing about it
thanks you

actually, does anyone remember the Sega Dreamcast game "Seaman?"
this looks surprisingly like the characters in the game. It's sort of a pet sim with voice recognition. You raise pet "Seamen" up until they grow up and have to leave. You can actually hold decent conversations with these creatures as well. Mine once lectured me on how democracy is always doomed to fail, and the united states should switch over to a Monarchy. Eventually they mate, lay more eggs into a more evolved tadpole with a human head. Then up to a frog, then they "have to go".

For hype purposes, the company developed a 'fake' site focusing on the history and biology of these 'mythical' creatues. You can view this site at

If that's the case then I'd imagine that this is not supposed to be a picture of any genuine creature, probably a picture for an advert or something.

Dj, do you know what it says in the writing in the top right of the picture ?

Yes .. SA .. I do know
It says: that this wired looking fish was found in China's Sea

Unless we're prepared to believe that there are fish swimming around with human faces I don't think there's any point in considering this photograph beyond an interesting piece of simulcra.

dj, what kind of magazine was it? Science, medical, Journal? Maybe there is a translation on the internet, or at least a reference to the picture in another similar magazine.

Well .. the name of the magazine is .. AL YAKADA .. and it is a mixed magazine .. it has every thing in it .. sport , music , news .. every thing you want

I still say it's a seaman...i think i actually have seen this image. It may have been a publicity prop from a game convention (E3)


it even has the little head appendage thingie....

That is one funny picture ((dust19)) ..

I think you may be right Dust19 .....

I thought the same thing about the seaman, I used to play that game. When I saw the picture they were the first thing that popped into my mind, heh...neat picture.

Ahh!!! Finally found it!!
I got an email of this Fish again .. I guess its real .. not much info in the email though .. just that it came From Japan .. and with some pics ..

here it is in a News-paper:


Close up:


shows the side of the fish where it has a hand


So!! any thoughts?

Somebody cought the Incredible Mr Limpet!!!!!!!!!

If anyones seen the movie, theyd know who Im talking about. Gotta love Don Nots(sp?) movies!!

Heres the movie Im talking about.

It looks like it was made out of clay. If it is a real fish, Whoever caught it must have chopped off some of the head here and there then somehow carved a human looking face. The eyes deffinatly give it away as carved, Unless this fish apparently has eyelids and has them closed.

If that was real the news would of hit the world wide spread.

Does anyone actually believe that is real?!

If is was real I wonder if it tastes good!!!

Yummm!

your sick you know that!

My God! Now I know why I hate fish! But seriously DJ it does look like a human with a body of a fish! Ew! I'm not going to eat anything that's pickeled for a while- not that I did anyway though.
Creepy as hell!

How do threads like this stay open??

Not sure but posting in them bumps them.

Looking the thread's title I thought it was going to be another ordinary fish, but after looking at it...............WTF is that thing!?

I remeber it from the Seaman publicity campaign. funny thing too my fridnds and I loved that game but it was always funny when we told someone we were going home to play with our seaman....try saying it lol
