2.5m Water Scorpion Stalks Southern Africa

Posted by Hemos on from the stalking-the-coastline dept.

MeredihtJT writes: "The giant water scorpion well over two metres long made its way slowly over the sea floor, about 100m to 200m below the surface of the water. It would take another 260 million years for South African Palaentologist, geologist and 'pizza-maker' Roger Smith to find it."

    Little does the future Los Angeles know that I have already deployed my own Giant Water Scorpion to attack them in their sleep, millenia hence. Crawl, my pretty! Crawl!

    CmdrTaco is probably locating submitted articles that reference small, low-bandwidth websites and Slashdotting them to impress Kathleen.

    This one is already gone, apparently.

    (Congratulations, Taco. :p)

    I would want to see Samuel L. Jackson saying "hold on to yer butts!" in the movie every time he's about to unleash his genius plan to stop the mutant scorpions, but I doubt he'd do a B flick.

    Well, he did do Episode I...

    I found this interesting artist's impression of how the giant fossil creature may have looked.
