most DISGUISTING creature in the world

I just have to HAVE TO blog about this. I was watching animal planet earlier on, and i came across this theme. They were showing the top 10 most disguisting creature in the world. ok.. Although this creature is only worth 3rd place in the show, it's first on my list. ( 2nd is housefly and 1st goes to vultures)

the most DISGUISTING creature goes to...............

SEA CUCUMBER

yes yes yes.. you are not seeing things.. It is truly sea cucumber, delicacies and famous among most asians. ( and actually, one of my favourite)

Here's what i found out from the show.. sea cucumbers, they feed on anything, rubbish, plankton, decaying organic matters in the sea. the most crucial part is here...
They actually breathe through their urm.. backside.. where their waste comes out from.. I'm not spinning tales or whatever. I have proof, from wikipedia!

"Sea cucumbers extract oxygen from water in a pair of 'respiratory trees' that branch off the cloaca just inside the anus, so that they 'breathe' by drawing water in through the anus and then expelling it."

somemore... They are pearl fishes' best friend! Pearl fish, actually live in the sea cucumber's anus. They get in without the sea cucumbers knowing. They will try to swim in, tail first, while the sea cumcumber urm exercises or move its anus. WOW. It's smelly,cozy and dirty shelter.

"A variety of fish, most commonly pearl fish, have evolved a commensalistic symbiotic relationship with sea cucumbers in which the pearl fish will live in sea cucumber's cloaca using it for protection from predation, a source of food (the nutrients passing in and out of the anus from the water), and to develop into their adult stage of life. Many polychaete worms and crabs have also specialized to use the cloacal respiratory trees for protection by living inside the sea cucumber."

WOW.WOW.WOW.

haha.. and something else that i found out today.

We have such a lovely name for nose picker

ta-da!

Rhinotillexis

in the past.. The Eygptian Pharoh, Tutankhamun actually had a PERSONAL NOSE DIGGER.
haha.. OMT.

and well..

91% were current nose pickers (but only 75% of these believed everyone did it) and 2 people spent between 15 to 30 minutes and 1 to >2 hours a day picking their nose.

haha.. out of the 91%, two thirds would deposit their treasure on tissue, 8% will just drop it on the floor.. that's not so bad.. here comes the gross part, the rest of the 8% actually stick it to furnitures like chairs or tables. OMT.

ok.. this are all real GROSS info of the day. haha..
