Just one more reason not to swim in the ocean.

Newly discovered, from Wired: The Chiasmodon niger, or "great swallower," has a huge stomach and can capture and ingest prey that is bigger than it is.

Sick. Sick. Sick. Sick. Sick.

There is only one reason not to swim in the ocean. Do you have any idea how many people have peed in it?

I know a girl named Dawn whose pee I most likely swam in at some point. I frown on ocean pee-ing. I don't care how big the ocean is, I've accidently swallowed some of that stuff.

You're just jealous because you couldn't do it. You tried, you would have been guilty of open water peeing, and I do recall a drunkin' night in Hawaii that you let it go into the drink, was that before or after you passed out and woke up next to a toad?

I dated a swallower back in college. She got every last drop.

Don't worry, the great swallower lives in deep water, you won't able to see it except when it's dead. I've also written an article about this, check out my site for another photo showing the Great Swallower swalloed a Snake Mackerel
