Biochemical Sole
In honor of the flatfishes...
The above image arrived in my email inbox last night from the preeminent coral reef expert and blogger extraordinaire Rick MacPherson of Malaria, Bedbugs, Sea Lice & Sunsets.
The subject line simply read "I'm just sayin..."
The pun came from his recent Carnival of the Blue #22 in which he wrote of my post on Flatfish Eyes & Recapitulation Theory :
More Weird Fish Eyes
If you still need some additional fish weirdness, Carnival of the Blue first-timer (hopefully long-timer) Daniel Brown of Biochemical Soul dredges-up memories of 9AM Developmental Biology class as he explores the evolution of flatfish eyes. This post has it all... some ontogeny, some phylogeny, some eyeball migration. Perhaps with the right encouragement we can get Daniel to focus exclusively on the ocean and change his blog title to Biochemical Sole?
Rick's wit never ceases...
Go check him out to see what I mean.
I'm actually finding myself craving fish now.

Mmmm… fish. Yum.
Though, to be honest, “biochemical sole” sounds like some weird GMO that I’m not sure I want to try.

Shall we discuss how clever this pun is at your plaice or mine?

Yes – Rick is quite the witty witty man.
I considered replacing my header with his for a few days.
But then I’d have to reformat my CSS…

Funny!
Sounds like a great name for a band. Especially one with science themes.
