Mysterious Object Found In Seabed

I'm actually quite annoyed at this. I foolishly clicked the link without checking where it led (just wanted a peak at the pictures). The daily mail is a disgusting newspapers that spreads lies and promotes racist and homophobic agendas. The damage it has caused to vaccination in the UK is more than enough reason to boycott it and I am now ashamed to have provided them a hit.
Its a Bothan who lives in the Gulf of Bothnia. Which is where this was found. Which is why it's doubly funny. Triply since it seems to have whooshed all of /. Despite the fact that at least 3 people have made this exact joke.
