In no context, realm, reality or universe should this ever exist

But it does!  And it's real.  It's the geoduck (pronounced gooey duck.)

I am simultaneously disgusted and fascinated.  Here's what fascinates me: if you know what this looks like in the wild, why on earth would you

1.  look for it; 

2.  harvest it;

2.  have your picture taken holding it, even ironically;

3.  eat it, in whatever format offered, including sashimi.

The most civilized image I can find of it is from an Audubon article.

ugh ugh ugh.
