Pleuronectes platessa; and yes, there's something wrong with a fish like that. Evolution at it's best! It's like a fish that just got too lazy to swim anymore and it's body just formed around it :) Hopefully that doesn't happen to me as I sit on my Lazyboy couch with a remote control and cup warmer. Before you know it, I'll be walking on my arse.
