Check this out guys...

Macropinna microstoma: A deep-sea fish with a transparent head and tubular eyes.

MBARI researchers Bruce Robison and Kim Reisenbichler used video taken by unmanned, undersea robots called remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) to study barreleye fish in the deep waters just offshore of Central California. At depths of 600 to 800 meters (2,000 to 2,600 feet) below the surface, the ROV cameras typically showed these fish hanging motionless in the water, their eyes glowing a vivid green in the ROV's bright lights. The ROV video also revealed a previously undescribed feature of these fish--its eyes are surrounded by a transparent, fluid-filled shield that covers the top of the fish's head.

Nice find. Can you imagine what a wonderfull world we would live in if our politicians had that much transparency in their heads. We could see the rotten eggs miles away and keep only the good ones.
