Oil Exploration Leads To Video of a Mysterious Elbowed Squid
eldavojohn writes "A rare glimpse from Shell Oil of a giant squid brings to light the strange relationships some deep sea marine biologists have with drilling companies. The video of the squid (Magnapinna) is very rare as this creature remains largely a mystery to science. While some are concerned of a conflict of interest, biologists and big oil sure make for strange bedfellows. The video is from 200 miles off the coast of Houston, TX and about 4,000 feet down." Looking at this creature gives me the willies, frankly.
The oil drillers actually believe in science, they have to, to find the oil, to build the rigs, and to convert it to gasoline to run in vehicles that use combustion. Completely unlike the environmentalists with their superstition and ignorance-based mythologies and hysteria induction strategies for manipulating people's emotions and fears into giving them money.
How nice of them... so... if I give you a new pair of shoes you wont mind me contining to raping your daughter?
I also get you defending me for it!
Who cares about some obscure creature being found by an industry that is destroying the earth - of course its us who are doing it, but we dont tend to give drug dealers a free pass when people ruin themselves with addiction... oddly enough.
