That's hilarious!

And no back hair. I knew back hair was un-natural.

My husband has hair in places monkeys don't. :(

(he wrote all about it in his livejournal so I'm not giving away state secrets)

I'm wondering why an animal (especially an underwater animal) would need furry forearms though.

I understand whiskers that cats and horses have, but furry forearms like Robin Williams are a bit excessive.

I guess the female crustaceans like 'em that way. . .

I've read that we actually have more hair per square inch than gorillas. But I've never tried to confirm that one article.

and tasty too I hope... they look cool tho.. love them claws and well, they might be oceanic bumpkins and dont know about waxing yet.

Damn!

I really and truly have been writing a novel set on a water-based world where the economy revolves around furry fish. Textile industries.

These are crustaceans, so you have wiggle room.

The universe reminds us occasionally that we have no new ideas. Sigh . . ..
