What in the world is this? It can't be a living thing. It's all got to be fabricated. Is it a toupee endowed with the breath of life? Is it something I need to check under my covers for every night? Are my children safe?
Reveal the hoax to me, people. I must know. Please.
Thanks, James. For nothing.
UPDATE: Anonymous and Neil have identified this as a sea mouse. They are marine worms that inhabit moderately deep waters. This worm has no doubt lost its breath of life. And, what's better, I have nothing to fear, so long as my personal nightmare of sinking to the bottom of the ocean in a leaky submarine doesn't come true.

looks like a sea mouse to me, but I don't think they can live outside the water. so perhaps it is something similar? I am so curious!
Sea Mouse (Aphrodita)! Pretty big one too. How it got that genus name is an, um, interesting story.
Wow, anonymous and Neil. You're amazing. That looks exactly right.
I love it when you post completely new and previously unheard of beasts Wombat. I thought it was one of them nasty prickly caterpillars on steriods...
I aim to please, Jelo. I like it when I do that too. Especially when I didn't mean to.
Seagina
Anonymous, I was thinking that too, I just didn't type it in!
clearly not a sea 'mouse' but a sea toupee!
Looks like what I pull out of my tub drain every now and then...YUCK!
MWAHAaaa... I don't know if you will see this so far into page two but I'm hoping to send you an amusing link about how... a certain gaming community reacted to that second last picture. ;-p VERY funny!
Missing the UglyOverload gang,
Arachnophile :D
