Black Chimaera
AKA ghost sharks, ratfish (not to be confused with the "rattails" , or rabbitfishes due to its looks.
The Chimaera name stems from it having characteristics of sharks, rays, and 'regular' fish. There's something odd about its gills, and they have some dots on the lower jaw, I think they had something to do with their perception.
There are about 25 different kinds of chimaeras, and they are pretty rare. We caught one of these when I was a fish mass-murderer, and I remember the crew had at least two names for them. One was "músfiskur" (mouse fish), but I can't remember the other one(s?).

I am looking for two names connected with the following clue. It (what the clue refers to) has been used in two very different circumstances and in both cases the named people were the original users originally.
clue: "Nu er avslatturin av okkara vetrar tjaldi"

Being extremely cryptic, aren't you?
My guess woulf be Ethan Allen Hawley and William Shakespeare.
Clue: "Now is the winter of our discontent "

I thought cryptic might make a welcome change. But it was easy once the clue was sorted out. 
As for the answer - It is of course correct.
Rather than Ethan Allen Hawley, I was however thinking specifically of Larry Lamb, editor of The Sun, who first used the phrase with respect to the winter 1978-1979 in the UK.

I am not sure what Boddin has just typed... usually he's not that drunk this early in the evening.
However, I am guessing at a Tommygun. However, I am not that much into guns, so I can't spcify it much more than that. Tommyguns, aka Thompson
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tommygun#Model_of_1919
Anyone else may try to fetch the last part of it (if it's even remotely on track!).

Boddin is right! It has sometimes been described as the 'russian tommygun', but apart from the magazine, it's nothing like a Thompson.
