OMG ‘Deep Sea Monster’ washed up on US shores

The image of an extremely rare fish dubbed the “deep sea monster” has gone viral after a tourist discovered the creature washed up on US shores.

 

According to Wionews, on November 13, Jay Beiler was walking on Black’s Beach in Torrey Pines, San Diego, “USA” when he discovered the “extremely rare” species. At first he thought it was a jellyfish, but upon closer inspection, he realized he had never seen this fish before.

The strange creatures caught Beiler’s interest and he took pictures to share with others. These photos have reached scientists at the Scripps Institute of Oceanography, who have revealed this is a Pacific Football fish.

 

 

In an interview with local media, Beiler said that this fish is very large with a length of about 30cm.

“I have never seen anything like it before. At first, I thought it was a jellyfish or something, then I looked at it a little more closely and I realized it was a fish,” Beiler told NBC 7 San Diego.

Scientifically known as Himantolophidae, Football fish live in water about 1000m deep. This organism is mainly found in the tropical and subtropical seas of the Atlantic, Indian and Pacific oceans. This fish was first discovered by zoology professor Johan Reinhardt  in 1837.

Court throws out conviction after judge says Black man 'looks like a criminal to me'

An appeals court says a Detroit federal judge violated the rights of a Black man when he said in court, ‘This guy looks like a criminal to me DETROIT -- An appeals court on Thursday overturned the drug conviction of a Black man, saying his rights were violated by a Detroit federal judge who was upset over delays in the case and declared: “This guy looks like a criminal to me.” “Such remarks are wholly incompatible with the fair administration of justice,” the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said. U.S. District Judge Stephen Murphy III, who is white, apologized nearly two years later when the case against Leron Liggins finally was ready for trial. He explained that he was mad at the time “and I regret it.” Nonetheless, the appeals court said Murphy should have removed himself as Liggins' attorney had requested. The court threw out a heroin distribution conviction and 10-year prison sentence and ordered a new trial with a different judge . Allowing the conviction to stand “wou

Skyrim Player Finds Sigurd Mysteriously Dead, Prompts Whudunnit Theories

It's a lovely morning in Whiterun. You wake up invigorated by the spirit of a dragon you killed yesterday, and are ready to test out your new Shout. You stop by the blacksmith to craft 30 Iron Daggers to level up your blacksmithing, and then make your way to meet Jarl Balgruuf. Heimskr incessant praises to Talos don't seem to bother you, and no one talks about taking an arrow to the knee. It's a perfect day. That's when you see it – Sigurd's body laying on top of his wooden logs. A murder has been committed, and it was someone within Whiterun. This is more or less the same scenario that Redditor JDGumby went through during one of their recent walks around Whiterun (thanks, Game Rant). Sigurd was lying dead on his logs, but the player wasn't the one who killed him. The city doesn't have any hostile NPCs, so it's quite the mystery. Here's usually where the cello music would swell and Benoit Blac would enter, but instead, JDGumby decided to ask th
