What a shame these things weren't commonly known in the 1950s-what a cool creature for one of those cheesy sci-fi movies where radiation makes something gigantic!

It looks to me like the top left extremity has eight "fingers". Could be the arthritis medicine.

"They are apparently the World's Toughest Animal. You can shoot them into space, take them to the deepest ocean depths and let them go, deprive them of air, water, and food for years and they don't care. Send them into the core of nuclear reactor. They'll be fine."

But have they tried throwing them into a z machine? ooh, maybe they're the ones running the machine...

To me, these things look like a cross between a bear, a pig, a piece of ginger, and Freddy Kreuger.

If they could go through Z machine(2,000,000,000 K), they might survive in the sun.

Now you're just trying to scare us.

Welcome to the Cellar, aliasyzy.

aliasyzy · 05-08-2006, 07:38 AM

Maybe they are alien embryos from far far universe, waiting for a chance to parasitize and enslave us.

The Cellar is fantastic.

They think that video makes them look like living sweets, I knew Brit food was bad but really.

philgump · 03-21-2006, 01:39 PM

You know with all the things they DID try to kill these things did they think of squishing them with a pencil eraser. I bet that does em in.
