Blue whale Memes

The taxonomic punchline we didn't know we needed. The blue whale ( Balaenoptera musculus ) proudly announces its scientific name, while the tiny fish makes a gym bro joke about "musculus" meaning "ripped." Then comes the reveal - the fish is a Boops boops. That's right, scientists literally named a fish "boops boops." Somewhere in a marine biology lab, a taxonomist is still giggling about this. Next time you're classifying organisms, remember: with great naming power comes great opportunity for dad jokes.
