The Happiest Swimmer in the Ocean

THE HAPPIEST SWIMMER IN THE OCEAN
The credit has crunched, the weather is cold, but nothing can wipe the smile from this little fellow's face.
Called a Piglet Squid, this sea creature always looks cheerful thanks to what appears to be a huge grin.
About the size of a small orange, the squid - Latin name Helicocranchia pfefferi - can commonly be found in deepwater (greater than 100m) in most of the world's oceans.
But this cute chap is more distinctive than most thanks to pigments which dot its skin - making it seem like the happiest swimmer in the ocean.
Scientists gave it the name thanks to its tuft of eight arms and two tentacles on its 'head', as well as its habit of looking porky when inflated with water.
Its body is almost totally clear revealing a dark mass that is the internal organs and barely visible, feather-like gills. It also has a large light producing organ (photophore) beneath each of its eyes.
The picture was taken by California's Cabrillo Marine Aquarium. CMA Director Mike Schaadt says: "Our photographer Gary Florin took a marvellous picture of this rarely seen yet fairly common member of the deep sea plankton community. The angle Gary took the picture at makes it look comical."

Motorcycle company Dainese and AGV can put your face on your helmet, Italy - Apr 2009
It's the terrified expression most rookie motorcyclists wear on their first high-speed bend.
But now you can show the world your fearful features thanks to a crash helmet personalised with your face.
The craze was started by two-wheeled legend Valentino Rossi when he wore one to win the Mugello 2008 Grand Prix.
He commented that it depicted "my expression when I bend into the San Donato curve after the straightaway in Mugello at over 300 km/h!"
Italian firms Dainese and AGV are now offering to put your face - or any other part of your body - on a helmet.
