Get outta town! I mean look at that thing. And folks tell me to be scared of terrorists, global warming and the Bush cabal. Okay, true enough. But this thing really gives me the heebie jeebies.

This photo released Tuesday March 7, 2006 by the IFREMER (French Research Institute for Exploitation of the Sea) shows a new crustacean, called 'Kiwi hirsuta'. The eyeless shellfish, about 15cm long was discovered in March 2005 during a diving mission led by American researcher Robert Vrijenhoek, of the MBARI Institut, Cal., in hydrothermal vents of the Pacific Antartic Ridge, south of Easter Island.
