This is awesome! This came from a Rig Manager for Global Marine Drilling in St Johns, Newfoundland. They actually have to divert the path of these things away from the rig by towing them with ships! Anyway, in this particular case the water was calm & the sun was almost directly overhead so that the diver was able to get into the water and click this pic. Clear water huh?! They estimated the weight at 300,000,000 tons. And now we also know why they say one picture is worth a 1000 words.... .....And now we also know why the Titanic sank!

Roman - wasn't that the impacted molar you pulled out of Bob's mouth while he was under during surgery? I'll bet he doesn't even miss it! lol

Roman - it didn't grow larger,,,,,,,that was the actual size. If you had a impacted molar swimming in a Crown Royal gumline,,,it would be that size also, lol. Twenty-six more teeth to lose,,,,and he'll become a NASCAR fan.
