NEWS: Ancient Horrors Below Us, Ancient Horrors Above Us

Giant fucking space trilobites would be the best thing that could happen to this planet. I'm packing up my shit and moving to Innsmouth with the relatives.

Eh, I'm going to New Zealand. I know that won't help, but at least I'd be somewhere nice when the Great Old Ones come to devour me.

No really, it is better for all of us if it is a massive energy potato bug. All we need to do is place a large enough screen door in its path and it will just hang out there for untold eons.

godsfuckingdamnit, Bloop is Father DAGON, not Cthulhu. great Cthulhu still lies fhtagn under the sea, but we know Dagon can still roam the great depths. for while he is counted among the Old Ones, he is both among them, yet not, even more so than the Dreamer Under the Sea. thus Father Dagon suffers less from the stars poisoned light than the rest of his peers, and merely needs sequester his magnificence in the depths of the oceans.

exactly where Bloop has been heard.

that one sound recording places him near sunken and horrible R'leyh should be no suprise, for it inhabits that which Dagon names as his domain, and he visits it in contemplation of subjects we mere mortals cannot possibly imagine.

as to the wayward sunspots, for now we need not pay them any fearful mind. we humans remain beneath that which is worthy of notice to the Faeros.

I really hope the scientists were just saying this to emphasize that it was an odd shape. Saying this is actually a giant prehistoric creature is the kind of thing I would expect of creation "scientists."

I'm sure glad that someone has time to do all the acid I wish I still had time for.

DAMN IT DAMN IT DAMN IT!!!!!
i knew we should have kept humans in the dark ages.damn telescopes.
now you all know our plan.
the masons were growing giant lobster like creatures on the sun.
and the sun is actually hot melted butter.
we were all going to eat lobster for life!!!!!!
our plans ruined!!!!!!!curse you technology!!!!!!

You know, I once had a dream where our enslaving overlords finally took to the skies, blotting out the stars in their massive, slightly transparent (cloaked?) trilobite shaped spacecraft. Talk about an impending sense of doom... The crustaceans are coming! The crustaceans are coming!

Seriously, what I see happening in the magnetogram really reminds me of what you might see if you dumped highly radioactive creamer into a really hot cup of coffee and made an X-Ray movie as the creamer swirls around upon the convective current of heat. Something tells me that this is exactly what is going on upon the surface of the sun. Heat, pressure and density changes, just like the weather here on earth, only hotter.

Or maybe they're the planet sized versions of one of these:

Oh yeah, you can definitely see it in the video. It's right next to the unicorn. Or is it a puppy? I was never good at the cloud game.

If you ask me, it looks like every human culture that ever had a sun deity got it wrong.
ALL HAIL THE GREAT FLAMING TRILOBITE!!! And may it bestow its blessings upon us, always...

Anthropogenic CO2 warming phooey.

Solar forcing and Sun Spots (trilobitic ones included) rule.

Coelacanth? Didn't Al Gore list these as extinct?

Yes, I do believe "oh god oh god oh god oh god" would be the correct response. I found the lovely in my photo perched by the back door of my house and I caught him with a glass and an iron will. I slipped him into an empty CD case (this took me 10 minutes to work up the nerve) and then took loads of photos of this menacing meanie. They move so fast and will chase your shadow (you) if you are in the sun. Luckily the Californian sub-species of this Sun Spider (or Camel Spider) is much smaller then it's Arabic cousin, it was only about 2 inches long in the body. I accidentally fried it later when I was holding it up to a halogen light trying to examine it's underbelly. Interestingly enough, I found another one just yesterday stuck to the bottom of my shoe, talk about random coincidence. I just hope I won't be seeing any more soon!

I've never been skeeved out by the sun before. Great.

I think I love you.

Damn. I bet next they find the Ogdru Jahad.

And you helped me catch a couple typos! It's a win-win situation.
