  • inactive, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4The one that welcomes the overlord usually gets eaten first. Just thought you should know.
  • 0oni, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4wasabi and soysause anyone??
  • devindotcom, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3As usual, go check out Blue Planet or Planet Earth to see these things in action, it's totally worth it.
  • FlapJaw, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3Makes me wonder what we're going to find in Titan's and Europa's oceans.
  • inactive, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2I'd hit all of it, except the urchin.
  • CanceledCzech, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2Yeah, it looks like something you'd see someone riding in an upcoming sci-fi movie.
  • Sparkster185, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2This is like the 3rd or 4th story from treehugger.com to hit the front page today. Weird.
  • M3RCINIAN, on 10/11/2007, -1/+3Boring. There's way more interesting ***** in the deep sea.
  • keithburgun, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2they found the real-life Zerg Overlord! Sexy
  • praisethelard, on 06/06/2008, -0/+2Especially the urchin!
  • justinlarsen, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2seriously id rather watch Planet Earth
  • cephalopodcast, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2Burkay: Deep sea critters usually don't have any sinuses, swim bladders or air pockets. They are basically bags of sea water. And water is relatively incompressible. So there is nothing to explode. Usually it is the temperature differential that kills creatures on the long haul up from the deep, not the change in pressure.
  • geekchick82, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2"When I was a wee lassie...." heehee
    I'm gonna begin every single story that way now...
  • caution, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2yeah and bring back Sea Quest -- that was a good one
  • matthewaaron, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1I can see a horror movie about a giant carnivorous moonsnail...
  • MikeonTV, on 10/11/2007, -2/+3Treehugger has gone too far with this one
  • indiephoenix, on 10/11/2007, -1/+2That article gets points if for no other reason than listing something called a "carnivorous moonsnail." It sounds like something out of an old sailor's tale or an RPG.
  • josegutz, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Looks like fresh Sashimi...
  • praisethelard, on 06/06/2008, -0/+1I want one.
  • boonecafe, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1need one of these things driving the alien lamp
  • victoryusername, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1There should be more series' on television like Planet Earth.
  • sabach, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Hey I know that guy...
  • sabach, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1jargon
  • lolcat77, on 10/11/2007, -1/+2The moonsnail looks like a yogurt covered testicle. Mmm yogurt..
  • youngerpants, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Looks like a giant isopod to me. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giant_isopod

    mmmm, crunchy
  • inactive, on 10/11/2007, -1/+1Dugg for 'thingies'!
  • Dufresne, on 10/11/2007, -1/+1This is a pretty interesting concept, but the thing I don't get is how they breath. I dunno, this seems a little dubious.
    Dufresne,
    Signing off
  • Sparkster185, on 10/11/2007, -6/+5Huh, huh, huh. You said "thingies". Huh, huh, huh.
  • neoblaque, on 10/11/2007, -3/+2My mother-in-law told me she didn't like having her picture taken, but here she is for all the world to see!
  • burkay, on 10/11/2007, -3/+2So if these things are really from the deep sea, aren't they supposed to have some structural difference from their surface level cousins? They are living under hundred times more pressure then we do, yet they seem to have very fragile and weak structures. And I don't understand why they are not exploding once they lose the balance between their inner and outer pressures.
  • mactrix, on 10/11/2007, -2/+1Nice!
  • OwdenBowden, on 10/11/2007, -4/+1Phucking Treehugger
  • DjOverEZ, on 10/11/2007, -4/+1I HATE ***** like this!
