Critters from the deep washed up on Phuket beach

My sis sent me a forward she received showing pics of strange sea-life that was washed up on Phuket beaches after the tsunami. All up there is approx 2mb of images and two of them got slightly corrupted.

Some very interesting finds. As an arachnophobic myself, I would love to know how big those spiders adn crabs are (or perhaps not as the case may be!).
 
(I dont mean to offend anyone with the next statement)
 
But I guess at least something (no matter how small or irrelevant it seems) good has come of the tsunami.

I like this, it reminds me of the movie
 
"Deep Rising" with Treat Williams and Famke Jansen (YUM!)
 
It was basically about some sort of mutated giant squid like creature attacking a huge luxury liner in the south china sea and eating the passengers whole, ummm, tasty

LMAO ScinteX!!!
 
Yeh I know Deep Rising, I love it, and II like to laugh at that guy who wastes the last bullet so he gets eaten alive-his own fault!
 
 
(Ya know, this got me thinking, maybe we should have just some kind of general chat/get to know u all thread in the 'Others' board, I know this isn't a website for those kind of forums, but it would be nice just to have a chat with you all that doesn't involve 'Gigabyte this', and 'Sims 2 that' etc. )

Yes it is, as long as we don't start going down the l33t speak road that is
 
OMFG, WTFO, LMAO, POWNED, and my favorite pr0n
 
If this happens perhaps we should just give up and go back to speaking bushman with all the clicks, pops and other non-verbals again....

I'm thinking it's related to Red Tide as this occurs naturally from time to time

OP
It's caused by heavy rain/floods washing chemical laden water & slit down from the mid west and out into the Gulf.
All the extra phosphates and nitrates that come with modern fertilisers and pesticides really screw with the oxygen level of the water and things die. Ships also sit slightly lower in the water.
 
A similar phenomenon occurs in the "Bermuds Triange" where the undersea geology is riddled with pockets of CO2 gas. When one of these is released, which occurs regularly, the bubble(s) of CO2 make the water unable to support ships and they will just sink on the spot. Once the CO2 leaves the water, any plane flying over that spot will get a engine full of CO2, plus a different density of air, and fall out of the sky. Would be very cool if people weren't at risk.

I thought the pockets of gas were actually methane not CO2 ?!?
