Yetis don't just stomp around the Himalayas: apparently, they also crawl on the ocean floor.
A new species of yeti crab has been discovered deep in the South Ocean by a team of British scientists. The crab has yet to be formally classified, and has been nicknamed "the Hoff" because of its extremely hairy chest, BBC News reported.

David Hasselhoff, the American actor known for his bare chest, was thrilled to be the inspiration for the crab's namesake.
"It used to be a bad thing to have crabs!" He tweeted on Wednesday. "Allow me to introduce the newest crab to the planet...The Hoff Crab!"
chalk one up to the Hoff....pretty good line
