Nuts & Bolts

Looking Into Someone Else's Mirror.
Sunday, February 1, 2009

I was reading one of my copies of the National Geographic Magazine when I stumbled across a very interesting article. The introduction reads:-

To judge by appearance, this is one misfit beast. Car-size and blimp-shaped, on land it's usually found lolling around. Sure, it's no supermodel, but underneath the blubbery disguise it turns out to be a superhero - its life a series of magnificent feats.

I know. I was stunned too - after all these years, FINALLY! The people at Nat Geo Mag finally recognized my awesomeness, and decided to do an article about me! MEEEE! You wouldn't believe how excited I was after reading those few lines.

Unfortunately, my excitement was short-lived. Reading further, I found out that the article was actually about elephant seals. To think! That description fit me perfectly, but it wasn't meant for me! It was for some dumb elephant seal.

Do you know what an elephant seal looks like?

Here you go:-


Exactly. That thing is huge and not-too-pretty.

I thought to myself: this is wrong - am I really that similar to an elephant seal?
That's when I decided to take a test. I took a photo of myself, to compare with the one above.

Yearp. There's no denying it now: I'm part human, part elephant seal. Get your autographs while you still can - I'll be signing myself up for experiments two weeks from now.

I am very lucky to have you as an elephant seal, no wait, as a cousin. How could I ever get those 2 mixed up I'll never know.
