It's a Fish

Sort of, about the way a basic kite is an airplane.  Anyway, it was up in the air just what the Tully Monster was until some results were published recently showing that it had a rudimentary spine.  Pretty good article at the Washington Post.  Jury's still out on its neighbor the H-animal however.

I swear, the more I learn about biology and paleobiology in particular, the more H.P. Lovecraft's tales of alien strangeness seem down-home and comfortable.
