Tributes that go so far
Reggae | Wednesday 11th July 2012 | Osh
It is always good when people look up to your job paying tributes and also recognizing your professional career with praise. But sometimes, that aim goes too far.
The last example comes from the new species of parasitic crustacean which has been named as Gnathia Marleyi, in honour of the Reggae master Bob Marley. The recently discovered species are native to the Caribbean seas and they are small parasitic crustaceans that feed off blood and infest fish in Caribbean coral reefs.
"I named this species, which is truly a natural wonder, after Marley because of my respect and admiration for Marley's music," Paul Sikkel, a marine biologist at Arkansas State University, said in a statement on Tuesday. "Plus, this species is as uniquely Caribbean as Marley." He sentenced.
We don’t know where Mr Sikkel takes the inspiration from; at least we know he made a good choice.
