The music choice is just kind of unsettling.

No, that was Cthulhu gloating over his latest success.

I was thinking the same thing! Not that I’d ever maliciously commit cold-blooded murder, but it’s nice to know that the briny deep will make my secret safe within a week or so.

Doesn’t great science make you want to just throw up some times?

Of course the video of a pig being shredded by little creatures begins with a Bulgari ad. Real classy, Bulgari, I will always think of you when my dead, bloated body is being consumed by sea lice.

Soooo…about a week, give or take. Turn a mammalian corpse into scattered bones…

That might come in handy some day…Helping people indeed!

Thanks!

Can’t help thinking the octopus could get in there if it wanted to. They’re normally good like that.

I thought it was cool how a shark showed up when the meat was fresh but no sharks came by later on. Looks like some kind of lobster was late to the party. I think the octopus was probably more interested in the structure than in potential food.

***WARNING: MAGGOT ANECDOTE***

I got to see and smell a female mallard duck go through a similar process during the height of this past summer’s heat wave. She went from bloated stinky duck on Monday to little heap of bones and feathers by Friday, thanks to a writhing and undulating pile of translucent shimmery maggots. For some reason, the maggots always seemed to be in such a hurry…

Let’s praise the pig who volunteered to this study.

Now back to boycotting beauty products tested in animals.

Not “maggots” but copepods. They are ravenous little buggers though and the bane of long-line fishermen — they can reduce a good-sized halibut to empty skin and skeleton between sets.
