It's a fish! And it's walking!
Chew on _that_ Creationists! 8-)
(This video makes me unreasonably happy. It's a great big 2x4 Cluebat of Science and it's swinging right at 'em.)

Cool. But not so deep, eh?. At 120m, this fish is walking in the Twilight Zone.
Are you lowering the (d)bar here, Craig? Softening your position?

Thought I could slip this one in without anybody noticing. I just liked the video so much. Way to back me in the corner by citing my own post.

Just keeping you honest, my friend. Deep coral folks are dealing with the issue all the time. Fact is, 200m is an artifical boundary most animals ignore.

You must have found my distant relative evolutionist...shouldn't the fish not be around because his relations evolved into us?
