My kinda carpet!

How do I order wall-to-wall this?

Stingray Migration

Pretty sweet, eh? I bet you want that pattern for yourselves! Yes, this would be a big step up from my current carpeting pattern, a graphically similar arrangement of old Vanity Fair magazines.

That shot is part of an awesome series of shots of migrating cow-nosed rays (not the Steve Irwin-killing kind) taken off Mexico by Sandra Critelli, an amateur photographer, which I found through a very roundabout way via the SwimAtOwnRisk blog.

    Wow, that is just…stunning! It looks faintly Escheresque, but ’tis real live nature! Awesome.

    Click through and look at the rest of the pix; they’re amazing. Sea life is as close as we can get to looking at aliens, isn’t it?

    Hmm, but imagine the smell from your wall-to-wall rays after a couple of days…

    Cryogenics. And slippers.

    Oh, the smell from your slippers would mask the smell of dead rays…

    My slippers don’t smell. They don’t even have noses!
