[edit] Pictures

I had some trouble finding a decent free pic to use, but I've asked for permission to use this pic, which gives some idea of just how bizarre these things are. Jpatokal 18:06, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fixing inaccurate quote

How cunning that the "I don't know, maybe" was removed from the middle of the Nick Tosches quote. Nothing must get in the way of the "gee-whiz" "aw shucks" "how quaint" "smirk smirk" "naughty" giggle factor for a DYK no matter how flimsy the premise, hmmm? Restoring the gutted quote. Imho, it should be taken out altogether as totally trivial, but I guess the downwards spiral of wikipedia is unstoppable, so whatever.

...and its a really lazy quote to boot - a high school level of "creative" writing...—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 82.108.170.101 (talk • contribs) 15:48, 20 June 2007 (UTC+1)

The racier "marital aid of Satan" bit wasn't used on DYK, and the quote sounds terrible with the "I don't know maybe" stuff, so I've just left the first half — because hey, this is a really weird-looking creature, and any encyclopedia worth its salt should note that.
