In the "mildly disturbing" department: One of two 19-year-old fish with human-like facial features in Chongju, about 140 km (88 miles) south of Seoul on January 10, 2005. The hybrid species fish were born between a carp and a leather carp in the pond of a personal house in Chongju. Each of the two female fish is 80 cm (32 inches) long and 50 cm (20 inches) in circumference. The owner of the fish said on Monday that their faces have begun to look more and more human over the last couple of years.

Great. More ammo for the anti-evolution crowd :)

It IS weird looking, though.

maybe it's just me, but nothing particularly jumps out as strikingly human...if I squint his 'noseholes' become eyes, then the ridge kind of looks like a nose and the mouths are the same. nothing real creepy though, more like a gorilla.

Not bad...not bad. Only a few more generations of breeding and those fins it has will become 'hands'. Then it'll become smart enough to flip us off if we get stingy with the fish food.
