Crab vs. Pipe
This is originally from http://crustacea.nhm.org/~dean2/crab.html:
This is a video taken in 6000 feet of water. An undersea robot is sawing a 3mm wide slit (1/10th of an inch ... remember that width) in a pipeline. The pressure inside the pipeline is 0 psig, while the pressure outside is 2700 psi, or 1.3 tons per square inch. Then a crab comes along....

That's mad! Imagine when you go 12,000 ft deep and there happens to be a 1/10 inch hole and you get trapped and..!!! Exactly like this! Does it scare you?

What happened to the poor crab? I mean, I'm sure it must have felt something.....

This is a very sad video...that pipe ate the crab entirely too fast, taking no time to savor its delicious flavor and texture. I could've enjoyed that crab far more than that greedy pipe.
