The African Lungfish (Protopterus annectens) is a fish that can literally survive for years without water! This fish has a special organs that are as close to lungs as any fish in the world. During the dry season the African Lungfish will burrow in the moist ground and then secrete a mucus that covers all of its body except its mouth. This serves as a cocoon of sorts… until the dry season is over and then awakens from its state of hibernation…

Hello! I'm Jason, a geek dad from Durham, NC. This blog was conceived as the mutant offshoot of the Random Signal podcast, and it is the exclusive home of the RS Droidcast. I like weird movies, interesting animals, comic books, science fiction, paleontology, and lots of other awesome stuff. I also like cephalopods, so much so that I have a whole other blog just for them! Visit Indie Squid Kid for a Kraken-sized dose of tentacly goodness.
If I made you a mix tape, you could expect to hear the likes of Tom Waits, Nick Cave, Johnny Cash, The Flaming Lips, The Mountain Goats, Talking Heads, Pixies, The Pogues, The Clash, T.Rex, David Bowie, Jonathan Coulton, They Might Be Giants, Guided By Voices, The Magnetic Fields, Guitar Wolf, and The Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band.
