[QUOTE=Viper202;30946272]Think about it, one has zero gravity and no air, and the other has bone-crushing pressure at a certain depth and no air. Which one would you start with?[/QUOTE] Both, at the same time
Shit, this is gonna turn into another UVB thread isn't it?
[QUOTE=Timenova;30936897]The kind of creatures you get living in the ocean trenches in the pitch black always interested me. I swear I watched a documentary on it and there was a kind of parasite that had taken over a jellyfish. There was a ray that was glowing a faint bioluminescent blue, and it looked really strange and amazing to see it swim away from the camera and fade into the darkness. I believe that the [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blobfish"]blobfish[/URL] is found down there. It looks like this, bizarrely enough. [IMG]http://i.telegraph.co.uk/multimedia/archive/01565/blobfish_1565953c.jpg[/IMG][/QUOTE] The thing about the blobfish is that it probably looks nothing like that when swimming around. There's tons of pressure at the deep of the ocean, that fish probably looks normal down there but inflated when brought to the surface because its body is designed for much higher pressures. Just how a human would expand if put into space without a suit.
marine biology i've said it time and time again it's just not fucking natural the ocean is full of aliens purge them all i say except dolphins :smile:
The ocean scares the hell out of me. Just being in a pool freaks me out.

[QUOTE=simzboy;30947600]The ocean scares the hell out of me. Just being in a pool freaks me out.[/QUOTE] I share your fears to an extent. Being in a body of water that is clean and clear isn't too worrying, I can see through it easily. However, depth gives me a sense of fear, since there's nothing beneath me, no solid ground, nothing to block the path of a hungry sea beast. This is amplified greatly when the water is obscured, murky and dark, for even the shallowest of waters can conceal hidden dangers, like a mischievous crab, or a territorial lionfish (Poisonous spikes? Australia's THAT way, fool!), or even some variety of water snake. Thankfully i've never had the misfortune to step on a lionfish or be bitten by a water snake, but I won't gamble my fate in uncertain waters. Plunge me into a deep pool of murkiest murk, and i'd be OUT OF THERE. Still, at least there are no large monsters that burrow throught dirt as if it were water, no chthonian larvae that burst from the ground and munch on unfortunate hunters, no massive subterranean anacondas that burst from the earth and swallow you whole, no big nasty Antlions that burst from the sands and savage you like half-a-dozen drop bears. If such things existed, i'd never set foot on any natural surface save for wood or stone. [QUOTE=thispieiscold;30948347][IMG]http://i.imgur.com/jrjDm.png[/IMG] :ohdear:[/QUOTE] Hello... That's a very nice submersible you have there. It would be a shame if anything were to happen to it... Seriously, that looks like soem sort of Doctor Who monster, or a Mercreeper. (a Creeper of the Sea)
[QUOTE=TR0U5ERS;30936043]Geothemal vents are such awesome things, like oasises of life in the deep cold ocean but apperently, they and the area around them is made ot pure metal ores, so the mining companies think it's a good idea to destroy thousands of unique species for a couple of engagement rings and some copper.[/QUOTE] I'd really like to see Mining companies figure out how to mine metal out from a place thousands of feet underwater. Any mining equipment/human would crumple like a can under the pressure.

What I love about the ocean trenches is the strangeness of the creatures you find there- beings that have adapted to life in complete darkness and high pressures. Angler fish look pretty alien, and the fascinating thing is that we've barely found many of the creatures that are down there. If I weren't paranoid of the submarine being crushed by the pressure, I would love to have a look.

I guess I won't dare to go into the deepness of the ocean anymore... Ohwait.
[QUOTE=FPChris;30950307]Not true man my bro died that way[/QUOTE] I'm sorry for your loss. May peace be with you.
That "long armed squid" looks like the aliens from independence day. What does it want?
[QUOTE=Viper202;30942978]Those are its actual eyes. Dunno about the hole.[/QUOTE] The hole is its version of a gill system.
Make us whole isaac. anyways ontopic. At my local library, there is this massive 300page long book filled with HD pictures of deep sea fish and such. I read it when I was in 3rd grade. I still don't wanna swim in the ocean.
Damn Ocean, you scary.

I freak out swimming 20 feet from the shore around Lake Erie, only because I can't see the ground. It's even freakier when you get the glimpse of a bass just floating there staring at you, plotting to rip you to pieces and drag you to the bottom for a feasting.
