I saw a show on Discovery about the still pics the same guy took of a Giant Squid. Amazing. There's so much we don't know and uderstand about the ocean. There's that saying that we know more about space then we do about the ocean.

There are a lot more creatures out there in the world that have yet to be discovered. unfortuanetly a lot might not be, due to the destruction of our worlds resources, pollution of our great waters, destruction of our worlds forest....

Everyday scientist are discovering new creatures or different genus's of animals we though we only had one type off.. etc.....

to think there might be certain creatures out there that might have the cure for certain human ailments in the bodies to combat things like AIDS, CANCER, HEPETITIS, HERPES, etc... but might be destroyed due to humans doing what they do best.......

kinda deep huh... but true
