Giant Isopods!

So, remember way back in elementary school when the nice/mean lady came to your class and told everyone to get in a line and then poked your head with a tongue depresser and it felt kind of good/creppy? That good hearted/terrifying lady was looking for head lice: Thankfully, she was not looking for their cousins from the sea floor, GIANT ISOPODS!

These suckers mature to a size of between 19 and 37 cm and can weigh up to three pounds. Really, other than that, I don't have words. Oh, except for this: "In Northern Taiwan and other areas, they are not uncommon at seaside restaurants, served boiled and bisected with a clean lateral slice."

"EAT ME!"

Speaking of eating, here's a creppy time-lapse video of a bunch of these guys eating a whale.
