I gave my nephew my old copies of Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark. The kid loves them and he's only 6. It's supposed to be scary. Like, that's the point of the things.

Oh, I get it now! I was reading the intent wrong. I thought he was saying basking sharks were whales, not comparing them to whales. Still, I never use that smillie so it was nice to crack it out I guess.

And I thought you were saying that most whales are toothed, since dolphins are technically the same family as whales. :downs:

To make this marine rambling more relevant to the thread, here's a goblin shark's hosed up mouth.

My son bought the Scary Stories collection for himself at the book fair because I couldn't find my copies and he LOVES the pictures.

I would imagine he downloaded it from a bunch of different places. Get your external hard drive and your incognito window, you've got a lot of work to do.

I think he meant a link to the thread about the dude with the porn, not the porn itself.

It's a painting by Zdzislaw Beksinski.
I don't think it was in the Scary Stories books, thought the some of the original illustrations have a similar feel.
Beksinski comes up pretty often in this thread, for good reason.

e:This one is my favorite.

I think it's uplifting in a 'light a candle and do what needs to be done' kind of way.

Maybe you're alluding to this but I'll say it explicitly, Dark Souls 2's Undead Crypt has an area that's obviously based on that painting.

I know it's not pronounced that way but now I'm thinking of an ambling piggy wearing the cutest demonic diadem. And now I'm learning the mothers carry their young and this species might have social behaviors and when did this become the cute thread.

What if this is what he wanted to be making the whole time? He just messed about with paint and stuff while waiting for the technology to catch up with his vision.

Well, you know, it's another medium in which to do art, he might have been busy still learning how to properly put those tools to their best use as opposed to with traditional tools that he had been long since used to.
