WELLINGTON (Reuters) - A giant sea spider the size of a dinner plate and armoured shrimps are just some of the new species discovered by a marine expedition in deep water northwest of New Zealand.

Researchers on a New Zealand and Australian research voyage also photographed deep sea sponges and a prickly shark, said New Zealand government agency the National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research (NIWA).

Really? I got some guy with a band around his head to stop him from snoring (or was that a giant sea spider that clamped onto his chin as he slept?)

Yea me too, not fair really, my eyeballs had primed themselves for "girl-in-underwear" and got a full load of "ugly-man-in-chinstrap" and they weren't happy about it I can tell you.

This is why I sometimes disagree with xouper on forum censorship.

If you'll excuse me I'm going to go bleach my eyes.

You're not scared are you? I'm mean, I know they're ugly, but...

This reminds me of my most recent "being chased through the woods" nightmare, only this time it wasn't a homicidal maniac, it was a bear, riding a moose and swinging two rattlesnakes in it's paws.
