“Have you seen what’s going on up there!? Go back to the ocean” -John Evolution in his 1964 speech

it's a good thing that the oceans never left you. you carry them inside you everywhere you go. blood is salty because it's a simulacrum of the ocean that we once surrounded ourselves with.

I knew that sharks were always perfect. Why don't we have a equivalent of shark-inisation (akin to carcinisation fro becoming crabs)

also chimaeras, the old ancient shark looking fossiles, are related to chimaraes rather than sharks. 300+million years ago.
