- inactive, on 06/25/2008, -1/+9That's "recorded so far". No one knows within an order of magnitude how many species there are, according to Edward O. Wilson.
- serif69, on 06/26/2008, -0/+7Absorbent and yellow and porous is he!
- mbauer14, on 06/26/2008, -1/+8Wow. THATS OVER 9000!!!!!!!
- xsecretfiles, on 06/26/2008, -0/+5Who lives in a pineapple under the sea?
- Steinr, on 06/26/2008, -0/+5I will take a wild guess of 329 453, I may be wrong but it is worth a punt, the odds of getting that right are better than winning the lottery.
- legendxx, on 06/26/2008, -0/+4Leave the politics out of this.. it's bad enough that it's already overwhelmed digg's frontpage.
- serif69, on 06/26/2008, -0/+3As amazing as it may sound, ocean-borne creatures can swim/walk around things. I've seen them do it!
- piesforyou, on 06/26/2008, -0/+3Oh damn, fish! We forgot to count the fish!
- petebert, on 06/26/2008, -0/+3do any of them live in a pineapple?
- surgeongg, on 06/26/2008, -0/+3Bah, I'm telling you, pokemon went downhill after the original 150.
- SSUK, on 06/26/2008, -0/+2Well, I really didn't expect much coming from a user with the handle: "diggit83", implying that he is the 83rd person to think of the name "diggit"... But that was some damn awful political satire.
- cobophers, on 06/26/2008, -0/+2Yeah, I found it easier to make a number up and hope for the best. Its science.
- RaGa, on 06/26/2008, -0/+2Owen Wilson thinks there is waaaaay more.
- mahler, on 06/26/2008, -0/+1True: Most national loteries have odds of making the jackpot 1 in X million.
- TyrannousDotNet, on 06/26/2008, -0/+1Flash mob of bee's, viral marketing?
- Pzycho, on 06/26/2008, -0/+1Team Zissou!
- kataztrophy, on 06/26/2008, -0/+1You have to wonder hoqw many that are recorded thus far are just mutated versions of other sea life.
- Etchii, on 06/26/2008, -0/+1WHAT!?! 9000???
- ShadowFoxxx, on 06/26/2008, -0/+1I seriously would think there would be more in the sea.
- Setari, on 06/26/2008, -0/+1It's like the poster didn't even read his own sub-headline.
But seriously, no one really knows for sure, and approximations are all over the place. Having to account for all those annoying micro-organisms really stuffs up the process. - hitkaiser, on 06/26/2008, -0/+1Spongebob?
- luckyguy2000, on 06/26/2008, -0/+1no pictures in the database :(
- RomieGalaxy, on 06/26/2008, -0/+1We really don't know all of them yet, still haven't explored all the deep places there
- deaftly, on 06/26/2008, -0/+1Under the sea
Under the sea
Darling it's better
Down where it's wetter
Take it from me
Up on the shore they work all day
Out in the sun they slave away
While we devotin'
Full time to floatin'
Under the sea - rootsm3, on 06/26/2008, -0/+1Uuuuuhhhhhhh.....
- Kakemonstere, on 06/26/2008, -0/+1Note to self. Read the article before posting a comment.
- deaftly, on 06/26/2008, -0/+1Squarepants?
- splinter09, on 06/26/2008, -0/+1yeah right all species?¿ no way
- ultraseamus, on 06/26/2008, -0/+1I would have guessed many more then that. From what I have heard we already know of over a million species, and water takes up something like 70% of the earths surface, which goes down miles deep at some places.
- ASSASSYN360, on 06/26/2008, -0/+1How many species live in the sea? SPONGED BOB SQUARE PANTS! Drop on the deck and hump like a fish. SPONGED BOB SQUARE PANTS!
- yujie, on 06/26/2008, -0/+1Did they include cloverfield and godzilla?
- gdha, on 06/26/2008, -0/+1...and slowly depleting. That is quite a bit though, and plus that's only what has been discovered.
- Gimjee, on 06/26/2008, -2/+2Be interesting to ever find out if there's a monster like that on Cloverfield or something.
- bwuest, on 06/26/2008, -0/+0Oh! Who lives in a pineapple under the sea?
- smithgerry12, on 06/26/2008, -0/+0ya,absolutely sea is a vast collection of species. no doubt in this.................
- scribby, on 06/26/2008, -1/+1Your "bet" is completely arbitrary. FAIL.
- Kakemonstere, on 06/26/2008, -2/+1If you count all the small fishes and everything then my bet would be at around 700 000.
- thedogfatherx, on 06/26/2008, -3/+2God that movie sucked.
- diggit83, on 06/26/2008, -7/+4Thats way too many, we have to do something about this!
