What you might not know about what you might now know:
The Bloop
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bloop
Here’s what Wikipedia tells us:
“The Bloop is the name given to an ultra-low frequency underwater sound detected by the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration several times during the summer of 1997. The source of the sound remains unknown.”
The sound signature of the Bloop is unmistakably organic, but because it was heard at distances up to 3,000 miles from the source, the Bloop is significantly more powerful than the sound any known animal would have the ability to make. An animal that could make a sound of this magnitude would have to be much larger than any heretofore known to science.
Here’s what Wikipedia DOESN’T tell you:
As a living citizen of this world, not only are you required to deal with the rapidly deteriorating state of the international socio-political landscape on dry land, but now you have to accept the possibility that there are legitimate sea monsters living in the depths of the ocean. There is no respite! Fortunately, there is no conclusive evidence that it IS a sea monster. It could just be the fat one from Wilson Philips. Remember? The fat one?
