The Pressure Gets to Mr. Crab

Imagine: 6000’ under water, a robotic saw slices a 3mm wide slit in a surface pressure pipe.

Wouldn’t it be cool if there was a video of something wandering near that slit, say… an unsuspecting Mr. Crab just out on his daily constitutional?

Well, here you go. (loads automatically)

Too bad it's on port 8090. Work firewall blocks anything up that high

Damn that sucks...couldn't resist. But honestly, isn't this what the internet was created for? e-commerce my ass. Give me video of crabs getting violently snapped in half and sucked into an industrial pipe any day of the week.

I love America.

Jeff: It's exactly what your mind is imagining. And yes, outside of porn, this is precisely what the internet is for. Stupid, devoid of merit, but seeing it scratched a deep itch I never knew I even had.

As crabs to wanton robotic pipecutters, we are to the gods;
They have us snapped in half and sucked into underwater pipes for sport.
And post the videos on the internet.

Not only was that crab sucked into the cut, but he got sawed a little first. You can see a piece of shell left next to the saw after he's gone.

I bet the crab was investigating the noise from the saw. This must happen all the time...

Didn't even have time to grab the Old Bay and vinegar.

Do crabs have ears?

If so, are they that curious?

Reminds me of a dinner I enjoyed with a former associate, on a business trip.

He didn't leave any meat in those claws either, but it took him longer.

I really thought that cutting a pipe with that much of a presure gradient was asking for disaster. Just as the crab was shredded through the 1/10 inch slit other nasty consequences could have ensued.

Deep sea explorers like those who visit the Titanic know that a crack means that the water pouring in will slice through human flesh like a hot knife through butter. Of course, right after that they'll get squished to jelly.

That's Mr. Krabs to you and you just know Spongebob is gonna need a leather couch and a fistful of Valium after seeing this.

So that scene from Alien Resurrection was realistic.

I'm frankly surprised the title is 107 Days. I would have thought it would be:

It's a Memoir and Memoirs are About Remembering Things Because Remembering Things is Good. Not Bad. Good. Memoir. A Memoir. Like a Reservoir But With Memory. We Have to Let it Flow.

Both guys are old liberals, maybe even of the far-left variety, and both are appalled by the Democrat/Deep State coup against the US. Kiriakou says that CIA officers were legally obligated to report to the Inspector General John Brennan's repeated overruling of actual intelligence to encode his partisan conspiracy theories into US intel product, but of course they didn't.
