I used to think National Geographic was a reputable institution

But then, they came up with this, which simply CAN NOT BE TRUE:

No way is there a Cyclops Shark!

More like this

It's too bad the picture you post is cropped where it is: the picture at the natgeo link makes it look as though it is grinning, in a rather Halloween-like way.
Still, pretty cool.

The headline would be more accurate to say "mutant shark embryo found"

critters and people with that cyclopism birth defect tend not to live long.

I thought the eye was the mouth and was looking for that one eye.

I'm trying to not duplicate the photograph, but rather, report on what the web site looks like. In a parody.

I got the parody - wasn't trying to be snotty and if it came that way I apologize. I just though the "smile" would add to the kookiness.

Angela, if the burnt offerings to Poseidon recommence, nothing.
