An example of that specimen was posted in #4. This one looks like it may have some pelosi in it (the extreme coloration)...

NOT my fault!

Strangely, I wonder how it tastes packed in olive oil...

Oops, I deleted the rest of my post! Looks to me like a lobster where you have to stroke its whatever nerve and then it sets up and you throw it in the boiling water and it turns red...but methinks there was a little hanky panky going out there in the deeps...

Letting it get near the eyes can be bad.

It’s a Moluska Democrata. It has no backbone and had eight suckered tentcles to extract cash from the wallets of its victims!

How do they know it is curious? Was it asking a lot of questions or what?

Thanks. I knew there was a weird creature pinglist somewhere and I couldn’t think of it!

The pitch-black conditions at 3,000 feet below sea level are unfamiliar to most but riveting to scientists who have had the opportunity to submerge. The sea floor is full of loose sediment, big boulders and rocks, and a lot of mucuslike things floating in the water, which are usually specimens that died at the surface and drifted to the bottom.

"It's quite fascinating," War said. "When you get below 700 feet, it's a totally different world. Lots of fish have heads like a fish and a body like an eel. There are fish floating in a vertical position, with the head up, and don't move unless they're disturbed."

Yeah, that sounds fascinating, all right. Not quite as interesting as the Twilight Zone marathon on yesterday, but definitely a contender.

As long as it isn’t the size of a Greyhound bus, I’m ok with it.

Even if it were the size of a greyhound I’d be concerned. :)
