Deep sea milestone.

Posted by apostropher

Deep-Sea News is celebrating the site's 50,000th hit. They cover a fascinating field that's young enough to be constantly discovering something new, so it's worth bookmarking or dropping the RSS feed into your reader. For example, the story of the underwater volcano that has created an eel paradise surrounded by a "moat of death" showed up at National Geographic News late last week, but was covered at DSN last June.

If it's a Vampire Fish from Hell and not a Zombie Fish from Hell, shouldn't it be calling "BLOOOOOOD!!!" instead of "BRAAAAINS!!!"?

Just sayin'.

The deep sea is full of surprises, Lex.

I shoulda guessed. Every damn movie I've ever seen about going deeper in the ocean than anyone's ever gone before turns out to have unpleasant surprises lurking down there. Brain-sucking vampire fish? Why NOT?

And my kids wonder why I won't take 'em to the beach. Hmph.
