The orange box sure illustrates how big the Mediterranean isn't.

Someone will find a way to construe this as evidence that the Earth is only a few thousand years old.

Since the world was in the grips of a Ice age 18,000 years ago with 2 mile thick glaciers where New York City is today, I can see a huge iceberg from antarctica scraping the sea floor clean.
Either that or it I second Bush's fault.

Well from my experiences sailing the seas on a submarine, the size of an area in the ocean is just a number. There really isn't any way to get an understanding of scale. Something that you might consider a tiny area in the Pacific Ocean could easily be many times the size of Texas.
All that you can really do is say how long it will take you to cross a stretch of ocean. No other comparisons were ever very useful for me. While it may make sense to say that the Mediterranean is small compared to the Pacific Ocean, it has an area of 965,000 square miles (about 4 times the size of Texas or 7 times the size of Montana). It is only small by comparison to something ridiculously large.

All I know is....
If there's lot's of sediment, they'll this shows evidence of evolution.
If there's some sediment, they'll say this shows evidence of evolution.
It there's no sediment, they'll say this shows evidence of evolution.

So scientists have finally discovered areas of ocean floor almost devoid of sediment and they are surprised? Tsk! Tsk!
From the dawn of creation, there has been similar areas on dry land. They are known as deserts. Who in their right mind would ever have doubted that similar areas are present on the ocean floor?
That there are deserts of the deep comes as no surprise to thinking people.

Bush should start a campaign for the UN to add the necessary sediment to this section of the Pacific Ocean. Financed by the US, of course.
