This is too good to put way down there in Animal Safari where hardly anyone goes probably due to the dangers there.

But:

I just read something that perhaps all of you already knew--and it is just the creepiest thing to imagine.

There is the candlefish. Right? Sure. You've read about it. And no surprise that it is a very oily fish.

But:

You can string it with a wick and use the thing for a candle! How very creepy!

It is a dark and stormy light. WE stand to lose our power. Get out the candles, torches, lanterns, pine knots, and...fish!

And let the scales fall from your eyes.

Forgive me, I only am this way on wickends. NOt that it's anyone's beeswax. Really, I'm trying to taper off.

I love the smell of beeswax or unscented candles. Somehow I doubt that a candlefish would be quite so pleasant.

Is it just me, or are we waxing poetic?
