Beachgoers Fretina Over Mysterious Giant Eyeball
A softball-size eyeball washed ashore on Pompano Beach, Fla. this week and it has experts perplexed. Is a colossal squid lurking in the ocean’s depths with an eye patch or did a whale’s Halloween gag go too far? No one knows for certain, but the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission has fielded plenty of odd guesses since sharing the photo on its Facebook page. The whopper peeper is currently chilling on ice as it awaits shipment to the the Florida Fish and Wildlife Research Institute in St. Petersburg, where it will be analyzed and, hopefully, identified. While we wait for marine biologists to do their thing, we can’t help but hope that monstrous orb evolves into a eye-themed meme of Steve Buscemi proportions.
