Goddamn, those pics are awfully creepy......

I was watching a program on the deep sea on Animal Planet recently and it was truly breathtaking. I can't believe we're already exploring Mars and all when there's still so much shit beneath us that we have yet to fully comprehend.........
 
Did anyone else think they were looking at a human face when they saw the blobfish? I don't know, I guess it's the eye that makes it look like a human.
 
The sea will always scare me. Not only because all the monsters that live there but because the whole feeling it gives me.
There is a lot we don't know about the deep sea, really. Some people wonder why we have to explore the Universe when the deep sea is still unknown.
Have you ever gone swimming in the middle of the sea ? I mean a few miles far away from the coast, where you don't see anything under you, all is black and the water is cold. It's one of the worse feelings I have experimented (and I am talking about the Mediterranean !!!! which in theory is a nice and peaceful sea). Now and forever the sea will always scare me.

I didn't think either of those deep sea spiders were scary, and I'm absolutely petrified by spiders.

Spiders and hospitals.

my irrational fears are spiders, hospitals, knee surgery, and velvet.
so basically my nightmare situation is a lot of spiders having knee surgery while draped in velvet - HIDEOUS! :D

i'll also add sharks.
sharks are now on the list.

Yeah this is so true...you can just feel the depth of the ocean and my imagination always runs wild! Anything could come up out of the depths, which are still shrouded in mystery.

It's actually so weird that we have gone to the moon, but we still don't know what's on the bottom of the great oceans. We're looking for proof of life on mars while we don't even know what lives in the ocean, it's just nuts!

I know what you mean. This past summer I went Para-sailing in Myrtle Beach and they took us a few miles out from the coast where the water turns completely black. Now mind you, we weren't exactly swimming in it, but he did drop us down multiple times so we skimmed the surface.

It was an experience I'll probably never forget. It's almost beyond human comprehension to fathom just how large the ocean is. And being out there actually in it made me feel so small and meaningless. 0_0
 
Wow. Some of those are surreal. It is a bit surprising that we don't know more than we do about the deep depths of the ocean. Or it could possibly be that those 'in the know' know it is extremely dangerous to try and traverse the depths of the ocean.
