MANILA, Philippines (Oct. 16) - Scientists exploring a deep ocean
basin in search of species isolated for millions of years found marine
life believed to be previously undiscovered, including a tentacled
orange worm and an unusual black jellyfish.

Project leader Dr. Larry Madin said Tuesday that U.S. and Philippine
scientists collected about 100 different specimens in a search in the
Celebes Sea south of the Philippines.

Amazing what we don't know about the world around us. We bluster and
boast about exploring millions of miles into space, while a couple of
thousand feet away there are enough mysteries to last a lifetime. :-)
