Pigs ‘N Shrimps

Some inmates in Vermont slipped a lil’ piggy into the state seal. Can you see it below:

Look at the cow on the right. And then look at the spots. You see Porky now?

Inmates working at a Vermont correctional unit’s print shop managed to sneak a prank image of a pig into a state policecrest that is emblazoned on police cars, and 30 cruisers sported the design for the last year, officials said on Thursday.

The official crest depicts a spotted cow against a background of snowy mountains, but the inmates’ version featured one of the cow’s spots shaped like a pig in an apparent reference to the pejorative word for police, state police spokeswoman Stephanie Dasaro said.

The second half of our two-fer is shrimps. Giant shrimps. Delicious giant shrimps:

British scientists made the remarkable discovery by accident while participating in a joint expedition with New Zealand scientists to probe the depths of the Kermadec Trench, north of New Zealand.

Using a large metal trap outfitted with cameras, they’d hoped to haul up a species of deep-sea snailfish that had not been captured in more than 60 years. Instead they hauled up, from nearly 33,000 feet below, seven milky-white amphipods measuring to about 11 inches, or the size of small lobsters.
