MOON NEWS: Eclipse tonight...don't forget! Last chance for full lunar eclipse until December 21, 2010--not quite three years. All you lunar lovers and pagani, dance naked (or in thermal undies for those in a non-conducive climate)!

So I have been perusing the internet after hearing about this "devil frog" called the Beelzebufo. Quite a find.
The National Geographic article discusses the fossil discovery in Madagascar and the temperment of living frog descendants in South America.
I'm still trying to imagine a frog the size of a beach ball...
On to other NG news...there have been several new deep sea species discovered in Antarctica. Which, being ass cold and not the most hospitable place on earth, is no surprise. However, one of the fish is an eelpout. Technical name: Pachycara cousinsi. As a lovely overture, the marine biologist named it after her fiance...
I am not sure whether to classify this as "romantic" or not. This fish is not a looker to be sure. But maybe the excitement of a new fish is like being in love?
I wish the happy couple and their little fish all the best.
