Before Syfy’s Sharktopus, there was MONSTER SHARK (DEVIL FISH)! “I think i can safely say the creature at the bottom of the ocean is a living fossil”, with epic lines like this how can the public image of scientists possibly be bad!
Thanks to Brian Switek via his Twitter account for this load of crap hilarity.
would you like a side of cheese with that kevin?
Funny – of all the animals “Devil-fish” has been used to refer to (Rays, Stonefishes, octopuses, whales,) it’s never been commonly used for sharks.
Whales? Really? Never heard it used for whales. Do you have an example?

“Devilfish” is also a fantastic Mystery Science Theater 3000 episode, and is available on YouTube in 9 parts. Here be part 1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xeCeRKEDdvU
