"Who says Twitter is just for political bickering and Game of Thrones hot takes?

The social media platform helped determine the species of a mysterious sea creature found on a Texas City, Texas, beach after Hurricane Harvey.

Preeti Desai, social media manager at the National Audubon Society, tweeted out a photo of an elongated sea creature with fang-like teeth and seemingly no eyes. Puzzled as to what it was, she put out the call to Twitter: "Okay, biology twitter, what the heck is this??"...."

I still say it escaped from the movie "Tremors".

I'm glad I never saw one of those when I used to scuba and I hope to never hook one when fishing or snorkeling, yikes.

This one has haunted me, I am susceptible to being creeped out. My first thought was this was The Sludge Monster from a long ago XFiles where the regenerating thing was cut in half, so there was "a half Out There". Sometimes my brain doesn't distinguish fiction from non-fiction for yucky stuff. Giant Morning Spider on Gilligan's Island was same thing for me. Fake, terribly so, but creepy enough to invade my sense of peace.

So now I'm thinking, is there another half of this thing out there???

With all the horrors of the hurricanes and flooding, the thought of sea monsters didn't occur to me. But now, just one more reason that I do not want to live in a hurricane-prone area. yikes. ick. eeeeeee....
