It's the third Wednesday in October, which means it is Hagfish Day. I learned about this just in time to choose my tie, so hang on for the story. Hagfish are commonly regarded as the ugliest of all creatures, but once you look beyond their appearance you can learn about their great significance in ocean ecology. Hagfish scavenge the ocean floor, cleaning up the debris from other marine animals. I don't have any ties that I consider to be ugly, but I realized that my "spy code" tie has a message hiding beneath the surface, so I think it's appropriate for today.
