Yesterday I posted some Youtube film of marine isopods just because they are so unutterably groovy. Today, synchronitically, the following message was sent to various Fortean newsgroups:This deep sea creepy-crawly gave oil workers a fright, after the unexpected visitor hitched a ride on a submarine sent from a rig in the Gulf of Mexico.The beast normally lives 8,500ft under water and this specimen is thought to be the largest giant isopod ever found at this depth.Questions were raised over its authenticity because of the release date of pictures - April Fool's Day. However experts have been quick to verify the find.
