The Japanese Should Surrender...Again

Because this is their new favorite pet:



Frankly, this is disturbing on many levels. But let's just stick with the obvious: this little creature is categorically ugly.

If you don't recognize him, it's the only known member of the appropriately named genus Heterocephalus. You may have heard his more common names: the sand puppy or the naked mole rat as made famous by Disney's cartoon "Kim Possible."

Here is Rufus the Naked Mole Rat showing off his mad skills:



And Rufus was as lethal as he looks. Many an afternoon were happily spent, Meghan curled up beside me, a Diet Coke in hand, watching naked, so-ugly-he's-cute Rufus help Kim conquer the mad geniuses that threatened Middleton in the Emmy award-winning show (It was nominated 10 times and won once).

But this...the real live rodent with the Freudian name...this just shows that God's sense of humor is possibly more disturbing than we...than I...originally thought.

Actually, using my own opinion in a way that someone (meaning "Meghan") might consider it as "expert opinion," the heterocephalus glaber proves that there must be a creator...because, really...how could you evolve into such a little beastie and count it as a step up?

And, leave to Japan to fall in love with the creepy little guy. You can read more about his meteoric rise here. May I remind you that this is the same group of people who invented sushi. But that's not all...Take a look at more results of too much saki and bait.


Look here.

And for even more stuff that you can actually buy, look here.

I shudder to think of what the new line of "naked mole rat" robots and video games will look like at: marcyjoybryan@gmail.com
