That thing has the same facial expression as my dog. This has to be the best prehistoric fish rediscovery since the coelecanth.

holy fuck.

its weird it looks almost like a model or a dead fish that someone has on a line and is fooling everyone.

the animals was dying

Fucked up thing is, not more than a month ago they caught the world's first living giant squid off the coast of Japan, as well... another bizarre creature that normally dwells far too deep for human eyes to see. What the hell is going on out in that water that's driving these things to the surface, or is it just a coincidence?

ahh the possibilities!!

Global Warming or as the President would say Climate Change?

that giant squid they filmed was a young child and it was huge! the mature ones have gotta be insane!

Does anyone have clips of the squid?

Those were my initial thoughts, too. But who knows, right? Like Touch Me said, "Aah, the possibilities..." After all, it's all conjecture, anyways.

I think we might see more of these rare animals, resurface, I think this is evolution working its cycle.

Could be.

It might be just one of the many, I just wonder where humans are goin to evolve into?

In Kurt Vonnegut's CAT'S CRADLE, he tells of a calamity which strikes humanity in 1986, which eventually leads to the extinction of all the human race except those descended from a small group shipwrecked on the island of Santa Rosalia, most northerly of the Galapagos. Over the next million years, their descendants evolve into seal-like creatures with much smaller brains, greatly increasing the general level of happiness.

(vonnegut attributes our general unhappiness as a result of brains TOO big.)

Edit: That should read GALAPAGOS, not Cat's Cradle

Vonnegut's seal people would get eaten by dino-sharks.

How close is it to the Formosa Triangle? Not that I believe the lot of that stuff, but maybe another intriguing coincidence?

That's true.


And that's usin' the old noggin. Another head scratcher. I'm gonna go look that up.

dude, that isn't in Cat's Cradale. that's in Galapagos. Cat's Cradle is about a small group of people surviving a man-made apocalypse on an island in the Caribbean.

true true
I put the wrong book

never type under the influence of labor

this one aint even that big... these guys are the ones which myth says they used to grab ships from the surface and bring em down to feast on their juicy insides... deep sea creatures are amazing....

i cant stop watching that deep frill shark clip. its totally surreal......
