A fish with elbows, a crab large enough to straddle a car and some other crazy, cool, creepy creatures.

Check out the above video from NatGeo where a submersible takes us all the way down to see some real deep water sea creatures.

The Japanese just know how to do it right.

They've introduced an adorable craft to America called Amigurumi, which is the Japanese art of crocheting cute little stuffed animals.

Ami Ami Dogs 2 kits come with detailed instructions and full pictures of stuffed puppies and patterns to make your own large-headed-small-bodied doggie.

Patterns and detailed directions for 12 kinds of dogs include:

But we still have to wait a whole month before we can get our hands on these kits as they won't be released until September 20, 2011!

SO CUTE! We want to collect 'em all!
