A German research team from Tübingen University has discovered a fish that uses mirrors in its eyes to see in two directions at once.
Uniquely among vertebrates, the deep-sea spookfish has mirrors within its eyes instead of lenses, so that it can look upwards and downwards simultaneously. Although the spookfish was first discovered 120 years ago, Professor Hans-Joachim Wagner's team are the first to capture a specimen alive.
"This unlikely miracle fish surely proves that God exists," proclaimed a Christian fundamentalist taxi. However, a passing bus contended that it was simply another example of how problems are solved by natural selection through evolutionary forces.
