The Hypertail And The Infratail: Axes From The Sublime To The Ridiculous?    by Robin and the Honey Badger
Price: $2.99 USD. 2490 words. Published on October 19, 2012. .

Join us as we compare and contrast sunfish and oarfish, which have shapes so disparate as to hail from different planets.

Weeds That Swim For Fishes That Don’t    by Robin and the Honey Badger
Price: $2.99 USD. 2360 words. Published on October 21, 2012. .

Price: $2.99 USD. 3290 words. Published on October 21, 2012. .
