			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p id="top" />I think <a href="http://io9.com/5629024/look-+-its-a-baby-mi+go-caught-by-divers-off-the-coast-of-japan">I09 is wrong on monster</a>, but right on concept. This little critter can&#8217;t be a baby Mi-Go, everyone knows Mi-Go are winged, lobster-clawed fungi from Pluto. Close, though.  </p>
<p><a href="http://www.lstr.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/dickswim.jpg"><img src="http://www.lstr.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/dickswim.jpg" alt="" title="dickswim" width="176" height="199" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1008" /></a></p>
<p>Either way, it is quite conceivable that you&#8217;d go mad looking at it. (Some  <a href="http://blog.goo.ne.jp/heiun/e/a9e191fbbafee58f3ff37440dff88935">Japanese Dude</a> via <a href="http://www.japanator.com/creature-found-in-japanese-waters-looks-like-a--16385.phtml">Japanator</a> via <a href="http://io9.com/5629024/look-+-its-a-baby-mi+go-caught-by-divers-off-the-coast-of-japan">I09</a>)</p>
<p>It is, of course, <strike>Gadzookie&#8217;s cock</strike> some kind of anemone, all gnarled up after being pulled out of the water. The locals call it a &#8220;dickswim&#8221;&#8230;&#8217;nuff said. </p>
<p>By the way, you can read &#8220;The Whisperer in Darkness&#8221; <a href="http://gutenberg.net.au/ebooks06/0600031h.html#06">here</a>.</p>
<p>Oh, the H.P. Lovecraft Historical Society (ye who made that excellent Call of Cthulhu silent film) are adapting this one too. </p>
<p><object width="640" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/pd5gWGfnK5M?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US&amp;rel=0"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/pd5gWGfnK5M?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US&amp;rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="640" height="385"></embed></object></p>
<p>(<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pd5gWGfnK5M">link in case embed doesn&#8217;t work&#8230;</a>)</p>
<p>Like Call of Cthulhu, it seems to shows its amateur roots, but I don&#8217;t expect to mind much.  Whereas CoC went with a classic silent film look, here they&#8217;re trying for a little noir. Nifty. Lovecraft has been tough to adapt, at least for Hollywood. These low-budget efforts know their audience. I hope they do &#8220;Shadow Over Innsmouth&#8221; next. </p>
