    Because a picture of a cool fish is more interesting than what the result of the IT industry Poll for the presidential election?

    Not to mention creatures like this should make one wonder....what else is out there? With sats and smartphones, airplanes buzzing around the planet and craft exploring Mars we seem to forget there is still a lot of this planet yet to explore, deep oceans and deep jungles, who knows what is living out there complete unknown to us?

    Articles like this are useful if for no other reason than to take us out of our jaded mindset for a few moments to ponder all the different things yet to know, yet to be found, its worth it for that alone IMHO.

    I like coelacanths, and this shouldn't have been on /.

    Well, the first half of the byline is "News for Nerds." We may be IT-heavy here, but other sciences do show up from time to time.
