It amazed me how we spends tons of financial resources with the idea of one day travelling to the stars, however there is a place that has not been fully explored and is much closer to do such. The ocean of all place. From what I've read mankind has only explored overall maybe 5% of the total volume of all the ocean in the entire world. Through discovery there has been found living being living down at depths of 5miles or more below sea level which, would seem literally impossible given the oceanic pressure. Also for centuries now giant squid & octopus were considered to be mere myths & legends until the early 90's when carcasses of such showed up on coastal beaches of Nova Scotia.Anyways, my point is there is no way mankind has seen every damned thing nor classified all being living in the oceans, skies, land overall.
I find watching documentaries on deep sea life exiting. There is so many strange life formes down there. For example there is a fish species where the males only task in life is to find a female then bite her and hold on. Then he in time grows to be a part of her sharing her blood circulation, and he deliver a constant stream of sperm. One female can have several males "growing" on here

Interesting, I wonder how that works. I watched a documentary a long time ago, something like Alien Life On Earth or something, about the various life forms that live in what we would consider inhospitable places on Earth. I've also watched a few documentaries about dolphins which were fascinating. But only people with those interests, or those who enjoy learning in general, are ever curious enough to hear even a minute or two of details or to comment.

So true.

I've had those scatterbrained "senior moments" before, symptom of stress or just too much on my mind I think.

And it's more likely that I'll end up waiting for more than year before my household could ever afford to have one again.

That sucks. Is that clunky tablet your main Internet device? Do you get Internet from hotspots or libraries or whatever?
