You've seen some weird marine creatures in our previous articles "Out-of-this-world Fishing" and "Big Fish Extravaganza". Now we present more, and probably the weirdest bunch yet. Article by our guest writer Chan Lee Peng and Avi Abrams.

They exist. Don't ask "why", just accept their unbelievable strangeness and the fact that other surreal creatures (who knows how many!) may inhabit the oceanic depths, of which we have only explored a tiny fraction.

Some of these look like they'd make really cool pets.

This amazing picture taken of the Christ Redeemer statue in Rio de Janeiro puts a new meaning to the phrase 'touched by the hand of God.'

The 130 foot tall statue which is located on the peak of the Corcovado Mountain, was stuck by lightening during a storm in the Brazilian city displaying this divinely electric image.

Named one of the modern Wonders of the World in 2007, the statue which is the largest one of Christ and can be seen for miles appeared unscathed from the miraculous bolt.

Does this qualify as child abuse?

I don't want to break the Governor's rules by holding a promotional contest for the funniest photoshop alteration of the Governor's photo. Instead, I'll hold a contest to find out who can do the best job of imitating the Governor reciting the warning. To enter the contest, dial 818-921-1292 and do your best. The winner will receive a Boing Boing T-shirt! Deadline is midnight tonight, April 25, pacific time. Feel free to be creative and veer from the script. Don't forget to include your name and email address in the message (which I will edit out from the audio if I post it to Boing Boing).
