I think it's more like tossing a flare.

Bomb is a really inaccurate word for these structures. Chaff is closer. Still, very cool.

Beautiful creatures. Now, how can we militarize these things?

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.

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.

Swima bombiviridis:

( ) album name
( ) patois for "get out of the water"
( ) STD you picked up in a Greek village
( ) spam filter
( ) muffled cries beneath the rubble

In A.D. 2009 war was beginning.

Captain: What happen?

Mechanic: Swima bombiviridis set up us the bomb.

Swimming Swima at 1863 meters depth. Dancing Swimas at 2243 meters. Sorry, couldn't find any bombing Swimas.

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.

That weird, that real.

I'm waiting for this to incorporated into a Flash game any day now.

Thanks to the link text, I look forward to hearing the Gap Band in my head for the rest of the day.
