Sarcastic Fringehead Ferocious SciFi Fish

The Sarcastic Fringehead is a real fish that’s not only unfeasibly named; it also looks like it was drawn by a tween Star Trek fan with a less-than-secure grip on reality. It will haunt your dreams.

Biff from the Back to the Future movies hands out this little gem to fans.
