if Germany will hear it go up , how much stuff in down there ?????

If Germany hears it going off at that depth, you're talking gigatons, so I doubt its true.

The ocean is cool though, maybe one of the positives about global warming is we'll be forced to explore and take advantage of it more as it swallows our cities.

Also, Ia Ia Cthulhu Fthagn!

Who the hell came up with that acid trip of a cartoon.

More importantly why did they make it for kids? i'm pretty sure this type of cartoon would be more suited to stoners etc.

i remember hearing on a radio show once , about the fact that the British army/navy after ww1 and ww2 dumped obsolete, un used and out of date munitions into a deep trench in the Irish sea , about halfway between both Islands

what they did not know at the time ( or maybe they did :eek: ) is that a large collection of explosives in the same place in salt water does not guarantee that it wont explode

as it get older the type of munitions used, decay and become more and more unstable - and with this a higher chance of detonation

i dont remember the tonnage of stuff down in this trench but the interview did state that residents in coastal areas of germany , holland and france will hear this when it goes up ( again according to the interviewee )

wish i had links to this story , i would love to read about it myself

if Germany will hear it go up , how much stuff in down there ?????

Hmm, those things have been there their for almost 100 years. How long would it take them to explode?

I was really hoping for a more interesting explanation then moving ice. For f**k's sake.

Very true also Ill add a lot of jungles and forests are only very superficially explored. Im willing to bet theres a lot of large creatures to be discovered in the worlds oceans.

When WW2 naval submarine veterans met george bush they were asked did they see much wildlife. They responded that they saw plenty of wildlife not currently known to man and they said something that always fascinated me "theres things a lot bigger than the blue whale in the sea"!!

Scientists believe the sound was made by an animal

Several times louder than loudest biological sound

He's cracked it folks! 15 years and he has just gone and done it.

steddyeddy · 29-04-2012 10:31PM

Well in relation to the sound at the time people said it was a large cephalopod (octopus or squid amongst other things). A cephalopod big enough to produce that sound would be 200 feet across at least.

There is no fucking way that I'd be a deep sea explorer. Not a fucking chance that I'd have gotten into Cameron's submarine last week.

Fuck. That.

They should put Kenny in it instead, and send it to the bottom.

I bet a 100 years ago, if people had seen that they'd have called it a sea monster. It's kind've fits the description of what a sea monster would look like from my point of view.

google image colossal squids, its basically a squid the size of a blue whale, these things exist.

ancient sea creatures are fcuking terrifying, the Liopleurodon, sweet jesus.

there's a series of books called Meg that are about a Megalodon discovered in the Mariana Trench, total hokum but great fun to read, imagine Jurassic Park but with sea monsters. a 70ft shark, shudder.

Jaysus. I think that this thread has just taught me that I have a phobia of the deep sea. Fuck me, I actually feel sick looking at these mad things.

A 70ft shark? That is flippin' terrifying!!!

I remember reading this article a few years ago, when some fishermen found a collossal squid. It's one of the few to be sighted EVER and this is the first male specimen ever found intact. Totally bonkers and fascinating and amazing. Look at the siz of this fvcker!

From the article:

Heavier than even giant squid, colossal squid (Mesonychoteuthis hamiltoni) have eyes as wide as dinner plates and sharp hooks on some of their suckers. The new specimen weighs in at an estimated 990 pounds (450 kilograms).

A Movie with a shark like that has so much potential, hope whenever it does happen they make a damn good movie of it

That's absolutely fascinating. Thanks for posting!

I'm so intrigued by this all. Terrifying but amazing. Excellent, excellent thread, Iceboy

EDIT: My apologies, Iceboy. I thought that someone else had started the thread. Anyway, my post's corrected now. Fair play.
