Anyone seen any real ones? Just the one for me, only about four inches long but quite cute. Never seen any Tasoth, I mean Seahorses, though, nor any Lobstermen in the wild. bmd -- Magnet for the Pathetic Laser Squad Nemesis Player Name: Big Mad Drongo (Elite) http://www.lasersquadnemesis.com

I didn't know what it was and it looked like glass turned into Jell-o to me. Fortunately I grabbed it by the top but when my dad saw what I was holding he simply scared the hell out of me with a scream and threw it away from my hand. I never forgot the incident :)

Jellyfish? We have billions of non poisonous ones. When I used to row at
school we would have fights with them.

Hmm remember that submarine that looks a lot like a prototype Barracuda?
Maybe there really is a giant alien colony ship down there.

Maybe something is out there...
