Brushes, Fishes and Permanent Head Damage-ness

Everyday I go to the bathroom to use the sink and I always notice that we have a lot of stuff around the sink. It's not that surprising to see toiletries around since 5 people live here and use the sink on a regular basis but one thing that has come to my attention for a long time now is the amount of toothbrushes we have. For 5 inhabitants of the grattan house, we own 9 toothbrushes and 8 tubes of opened toothpaste!(At last count, there were 9 toothbrushes although I'm pretty sure I counted 11 toothbrushes just 2 days ago. I guess 2 ran away..)I took the liberty of bringing my mobile into the toilet to take photos of the toothbrush and toothpaste so that you blog readers can have fun counting them yourselves :P (Look closer..one tube of collgate is actually hiding behind another)
This is funny! Why do we have so many toothbrushes and toothpaste? How many mouths do we have? LOL!

Today while doing some research online, I typed in 'luminescence' as the search word in the google/wiki search box and after reading for awhile, I indirectly re-directed myself to this page on deep sea fishes. So apparently, some of these fishes have this 'luminescent' property that allows them to attract prey in the dark bla bla..
What caught my attention was the names given to these fishes. There is a lanternfish, flashlight fish, fangtooth fish, cookie-cutter shark, black seadevil fish etc. Sounds cool and cute to some extent, like they're some cartoon character or something but when I looked up some images...hmm...let's just say I started questioning the names given to these fishes. Seriously some of these creatures are freaky...why look for aliens when they are right here living with us on earth?

I'm only putting up images of the "cute" deep sea fishes..go look for the flashlight, fangtooth, and seadevil fishes yourself..shocking!

My supervisors sat me down today and asked me if I'd like to continue with a PhD. My immediate reaction (in my head of course) was NO WAY ARE YOU KIDDING ME YOU WANT ME TO GET A PERMANENT HEAD DAMAGE? [yeah lame old joke but it still works]. Their reasoning was that I was on the road of scoring a relative good score for my honours but if i wanted a scholarship to continue with a PhD, I would need to do more work throughout the year to actually achieve that. So i started thinking, right now I don't plan to do a PhD, I plan to work, but I do like to keep my options open in case I do decide that I hate working. But then I realised, in order to keep my options open, I still need to achieve a good score just in case I decide to do a PhD. So now, instead of taking it relatively easy for the rest of the year, I have to think about putting extra stress on myself to do more research if I wanted to keep my options open. But I'm thinking, is it worth it? Should I stress myself more this year JUST because I want to keep the PhD option open although it is highly unlikely I'll ever do a PhD?
