Truechoice2004 said:Actually the Ocean is the most unexplored place on earth....actually the largest trenches are in the Pacific Ocean....so a word to the wise stay out of that water in that area...It aint no tellin whats down in the depths. Its funny i was watching something on Discovery a few years back...and a Japanese Fisherman saw a Fin that appeared to be some 25feet out of the water then it just sanked so rapidly and disappeared in depths of the ocean. It sounded like BS but damn makes you think...Moby Dick could be just chillin out there waiting for your cruise ship....![]()

They have plenty of corpses of the same fish, so it would make much more sense to put a monitor on this one and just observe it for a while, instead of scooping it up so quickly. Even if it were dying, it would still have tried to survive and we may have learned a lot about its habits.

The shark was in poor health and that's what they believe drove it to rise closer to the surface as it was dieing anyway...
Just more proof that as we continue to spend trillions of dollars exploring space (and we should), there are creatures and places on this Earth that we have yet to see or explore...
And why should we explore space? Observation has shown that the sun will one day either go super nova or just burn out...when this happens life in the galaxy as we know it will cease to exist..Therefore, mankind's survival depends on our ability to leave this rock and continue to seek out other habitable worlds to live on and thrive... If we are successful, mankind will one day become true space travelers...
