Can I Have a Hand?

I saw this picture on another website and thought it was a bit like a trainwreck. I can't stop looking at it. Why does this fish have hands and why isn't BP being prosecuted yet?

It's called a handfish and apparently, there are nine versions of them. That's, like, 36 hands.

This week is killing me (I kind of wish I had this guy's extra hands). Anything worth the prize is always worth the fight. The fight's been worth it, but I need to go to bed. Details coming this weekend!
