NASA finds a shrimp - in the Antarctic and 600 feet down - where no life has been found before!

See the little shrimp?

Here's the video, caught near McMurdo station (oh look, a Stargate Atlantis reference!)

And if it doesn't show here, it's at The Toronto Star. I love the guy going "the shrimp like thingie" on the video. Bwahahah! And the video is neat to watch!

TBH they said pretty much the same thing about Black Smokers "there can be no life...its inhospitable and hostile to life yada..yada..yada.." and what did they find.. scores of shrimp things living on the cones... just goes to show.. just when you think you have mother nature pegged.. she throws out a duck billed platypus..

Shrimp will undoubtedly inherit the world. They'll be eating US for dinner ;)
