Deep Sea Monster Baffles Scientists

Posted by timothy on from the as-well-it-ought dept.

sbszine writes "The Sydney Morning Herald has a report of a bizarre sea creature that has washed up on the coast of Chile. The creature is grey, lumpy, and the size of a school bus. Scientists have ruled out the possibility that it may be a whale -- the creature is an invertebrate, and perhaps even a new species."

    In the past several months there have been stories of new species of giant jellyfish discovered, new species of tiny seahorses, and several new ocean species in New Zealand. These stories get rejected, but a story about a rotten whale carcass (with NO pictures, btw) gets on here? What are you fucktard crackhead editors mainlining?
