I'm betting that it's also poisonous.

Those big, almost human-like eyes are what makes it really creepy. Something so utterly strange-looking does not deserve to be intelligent. So it has no business looking intelligent.

Which is why they must be killed. NOW.

JMO. :-)

and how the Bikini Bottom Community Association asked you to move your toilet outside the Bermuda Triangle City Limits, because all those sunken ships and UFOs were impeding the normal flow of traffic...and the Article turns out to be about you anyway!

,,, I was determined the "build it and they'll come" strategy would work for me.

...can't argue with success, shaggy.

Have you heard that our old buddy Bert has somehow triggered a gigantic solar storm to disrupt global communications and stuff...?

I wonder if we should take up temporary residence in one of those crashed UFOs you're collecting down there...that is...if you promise to control your bodily eel-missions until after the aurora passes upstairs...

Yippee! 25,000 more species to be endangered by the mere existence of Man. Hey, leave the the heck alone! We haven't known about them for all this time, we can live without them. The world, especially the USA, doesn't need anymore bottom-dwellers. We already have democrats.

I had to have one of those enigmas once before surgery. It was small, but uncomfortable. I can't imagine a deep sea enigma!

[irishtenor]

Wow, I hope it tasted OK. :>)

,,, aurora schmaurora. Come on down, I've got something in your size.

[StriperSniper]

LOL! I think the pressure is getting to those guys. ;-)

I recall an old show where they used the microphone systems left over from the cold war submarine watching days. They used it to listen/track whales, etc.

At one point they gave some short samples. “This one is a Beluga whale off the coast of Alaska. This one is a sperm whale off the coast of California....”

The last one they played sounded both organic and digital at the same time - like something from a cheesy sci-fy alien movie.

“This one is from 4 miles down in the Mariana Trench. We have no idea what it is.”
