Weekly Geekly: The Case of the Giant Eyeball

Imagine you're out for a stroll on a beautiful, warm beach. Do you feel the soft sand between your toes? The water brushing against your ankles? The squish of a GIANT EYEBALL beneath your feet? That's never happened to you? Oh...

Well it happened to Gino Covacci in Florida last week. He didn't step on it, but he found it washed ashore on Pompano Beach north of Ft. Lauderdale. At first, people were baffled. Many speculated that it could have been from the elusive giant squid, but experts from Florida's Fish and Wildlife Research Institute say that it is from, WAIT FOR IT....A Swordfish...

Okay, so not that astounding, but still weird. Experts also think the eye was removed by a fisherman after the swordfish was caught. Look at that thing! The only thing I've ever found on the beach was a sea urchin I stepped on when I was 9. I subsequently found an adult with a band aid.
