Bomb is a really inaccurate word for these structures. Chaff is closer. Still, very cool. posted by Lemurrhea at 8:56 AM on August 21, 2009 [1 favorite]
Beautiful creatures. Now, how can we militarize these things? posted by Atreides at 8:59 AM on August 21, 2009

I was looking forward to a Flash Friday game that combined that snake game (where you eat stuff and get longer) and Bomberman. This is ok too, I guess. posted by samsm at 9:02 AM on August 21, 2009
Oh, I wish there was video!
I will never stop being astounded by the weird shit the ocean depths contain. Creatures that happily live at 140F? Fish with tube eyes? Vent worms that basically eat sulfur? Wriggly things that throw glowing blobs at predators are normal down there.
The deep ocean is fantastic. It's like some crazy post-post-post society where everyone's a freak, and everyone's awesome. posted by peachfuzz at 9:05 AM on August 21, 2009 [2 favorites]

I think those little green "bombs" are actually passengers who leap from the worm when danger threatens.
The glowing is just a distress signal, which the marine biologists would have realized had they stuck around long enough to see the rescue fish arrive. posted by orme at 9:49 AM on August 21, 2009
