Sex, Drugs and Sea Slime

Released this week, Sex, Drugs and Sea Slime will certainly be the must-read book for our aquatic friends this summer.

This book is going to sell faster than a parrotfish can change sex.

New Yorker Review:
The Book Bench: What’s Really Under the Sea : The New Yorker

 

I like the title!

 

Wait! What! Moved------> to the bucket. lol.

Yes I will be getting my copy, thanks for the heads up.

 

When I first saw the thread title, I thought I was going to have some infracting to do.

I would definitely love to have a look at this book!

 

I bought my copy today.
$20 with shipping!

 

You have time to read with a newborn at home?! I'm so jealous!

I wish there was a "Look Inside" option at Amazon for this book. Since there isn't, you'll have to tell us a bit about it once you get your copy Matt.

 

I read on the train.

Read the reviews! That is all I needed..

 

I've heard numerous interviews with the author. Every single odd case she cited besides one I had heard before (gosh I am a ocean nerd)... lobsters have piss guns in their head and when they battle another male, they shoot piss at each other (pissed off). When ready to mate, the male shoots pee into the females lair. If he didn't, she'd attack him as an invader

 

Oh man, hope that post if kosher.. sorry if it isn't

 

I'm sure it's fine so long as nobody takes it out of context.
