Sorry if repost.

Cool.

How do they taste with wasabi and soy sauce?

Good, a tastier version of the juncture of redrum's mother's legs.

[|Zach|]

That is awesome.

[freeair]

those are incredible fish..

[Jenson71]

That pressure measurement is what is incredible. So...if a person was dragged down in a submarine, and released into the wild, I'm guessing their head would just instantly implode?

[Deberg_1990]

How do the fish support that kind of pressure??

[Braincase]

But can they play right tackle?

[seclark]

they look like albino tadpoles.

[vailpass]

Very cool although they look like something we learned about in Reproductive Science class.

[Bob Dole]

What about that other type of fish that's swimming around? Where's the love for them?

[InChiefsHeaven]

What the heck are they eating, or gathering around, or whatever. Looks like a pile of kibble or something...

Reading comprehension is your friend.

The images show groups that are sociable and active—possibly even families—feeding on little shrimp, yet living in one of the most extreme environments on Earth.

[Long Duk Dong]

definitely cool...weird stuff in the deep ocean.

is that site SFW?

yes

No sub could go that deep, but if it could, and a person was somehow released there, every single space in our body would be compressed down to nothing, like those vacuum bags where you can put clothes and stuff in and vacuum the air out, but a lot messier, since the blood and other matter would have to go somewhere if it couldn't compress as much as out body will be doing.

[DJ's left nut]

Screw aliens.

I have a hard time believing they could be any stranger than some of the !@#$ we have living on this berg.

[InChiefsHeaven]

Apparently not...:)

...and yet these tiny little fish can take that pressure...truly amazing!

[ClevelandBronco]

is that site SFW?

What kind of a question is that?

You're already on a site that isn't safe for work.

[RealSNR]

How do the fish support that kind of pressure??My guess is their bodies are designed to reinforce the pressure with water from the inside... either going through their mouths or gills or whatever.

I would assume that's why they're bottom dwellers... their swim bladders are not capable of making any difference in elevating the fish that much.

[blueballs]

So this is what Scanlon is up to these days
no one else on earth could handle this filming

[RealSNR]

So this is what Scanlon is up to these days
no one else on earth could handle this filmingNo, Scanlon was busy at the site of the Titanic wreckage breathing life back into the victims.... without an oxygen tank. He just held his breath and dived down

[Rausch]

Sperm.

They look like some very confused and lost sperm at high magnification...

[blueballs]

So it's Sippio's sperm
goes really really deep

Thanks for the reply. That is weird.

I remember reading that Alvin's replacement is going to be capable of diving to 6,500 meters.

And, returning to the surface un-imploded, of course.

[MOhillbilly]

um what about the shad looking fish swimming around the snail fish?

[Rausch]

Still sididng with sperm.

Likely of low intellect hitting the wall of Pam Anderson or Nicole Richie's colon...

[POND_OF_RED]

I read somewhere that Michael Phelps used to catch these fish with his bare hands as a part of his training regimin.

This submersible went deeper than that almost 40 years ago. A little over 10,900 meters.

Truthfully, going down is the easy part. It's the coming up un-imploded part that's the trick.

Nonsense. A good "emergency blow" can take care of all pressure issues.

[Rain Man]

Nonsense. A good "emergency blow" can take care of all pressure issues.

On a similar topic, I wonder if you'd be okay if you chewed some gum going down. You know, to equalize the pressure.

[stumppy]

Along with preventing a wife beating in the trailer park.

Wait. What precisely do you mean by "going down"?

[Rain Man]

Get your mind out of the ocean depths.

[Donger]

"Yo ho! Blow the man down!"
