"In October 2003, Glover and Dahlgren sank the remains of a dead, stranded minke whale in 120m of water and monitored what happened to the carcass over a period of months using remotely operated vehicles."
some people get all the fun jobs.

thats actually really interesting.
the whole idea of whale falls being food source to a host of organisms is pretty cool imhotep.

i know this. i am watching the tv monitors and using a joystick or powerglove to control the robots in the rotting whale's esophagus. it's not like i'm down there in the whale - i have robots to do the dirty work! then i would analyse the computer data on an apple ii or c64 (whatever we have in the submarine) and find out... uh, if it's really a whale or something.

when I saw the title of this thread I thought it was going to be a euphamism for "vagina."

funny how people say "save the whales," because this article says their death is an excellent nutrient ground of many organisms. but then again, that's just the ecosystem methinks.
