Tasman Sea Produces Freaky Species
CBC ^ | 30 Jun 2003 | Staff SYDNEY - Hundreds of new underwater species, including sharks and a giant sea spider the size of a dinner plate, have been discovered by scientists in the Tasman Sea between Australia and New Zealand. The month-long expedition collected and photographed specimens at depths of more than two kilometres. The voyage around Lord Howe and Norfolk Islands was the most complex survey ever conducted in Australian waters. Researchers from Australia and New Zealand say the expedition has made some extraordinary discoveries. One creature, the fangtooth, has teeth longer than its head. To avoid piercing the fish's brain when it shuts its mouth, the teeth fit into opposing eye sockets. Then there's a wonky-eyed jewel squid - its left eye is much larger than the right. Researchers believe the big eye looks out for food, while the small one watches for predators. These new life forms have adapted to the harsh conditions beneath the ocean where water pressure is hundreds of times greater than at the surface. In total, 500 species of fish and 1,300 types of invertebrates were discovered, including deep-sea sponges and a prickly shark. It's expected to take more than a year to classify them all. The spiders recovered from the icy depths are not related to those found on land. Some have bodies so tiny that their internal organs have been pushed down inside their hollow legs. A giant fossilized tooth of an extinct shark known as a megalodon was also found, possibly lying undisturbed on the ocean floor for millions of years. |

Apparently something has brought them inshore and the dolphins are feeding on their heads and leaving the rest.

CM,
I'm 47 too. It seems every year I get a fresh batch of 17-18 year old students who want very much to whoop me in arm wrestling. I work out faithfully; but still it's getting tougher and tougher to beat them with each passing year. God help me if one of the boys challenges me. Scout "Capt. Mooron" wrote Thank the gods I'm only 47.... I'd have a harder time doing it if I was 74!! ;-) |

Instill a fear so deep that merely a "look" from you will render them weak
from an overload of adrenalin. I do it to my nephews all the time. My favourite trick is the bucket with the lid... I pick up a 5 gallon plastic bucket of tools, snap on a lid and carry it easily down to the shore. I put it in the shed and stash it under a box......where I have a similar bucket loaded with 80 lbs of dive weights. I'll wait a bit and ask one of the lads to fetch the tool bucket for me. Man.... you should see their faces.... Ha ha ha They think I'm a machine! Idiots! Ha Ha Ha CM "Scout" wrote in message ... | CM, | I'm 47 too.

Reason you're running out of ice is the excessive generation of methane in the USA. I'd suggest exterminating Bobby (that should halve the hot air/methane output of the USA) but you'd have to freeze the carcass as well, and you're running out of ice We cpild use dry ice...and stick him on a space shuttle and let him go in orbit..problem is htat the orbit would decay after awhile and then someone would be stuck with him falling down their chimney....What do your workboats do in Antarctica anyway? -- katysails s/v Chanteuse Kirie Elite 32 Ad eundum quo nemo ante iit. http://katysails.tripod.com "Women and cats will do as they please, and men and dogs should relax and get used to the idea." - Robert A.
