....I saw the fellow who found the Titanic as well as hundreds of other shipwrecks. So what excites him most? Some kind of silly, huge worms growing on the bottom of the ocean! Why?
Glad you asked! These long, silky worms are attached to the bottom of the ocean at a depth where life cannot exist. Further, the water is too cold and there is no light. And to top if all off, the darn things have color on them! In pitch black, why do you need color? These worms, living where they could not possibly live, have caused science and biology to totally re-think their position about life as we know it.
So we must be very careful about what we "know".
That's all.........
