Hey, Gena (I read you a lot when I was a lurker.  I feel like I know you.)

You're very welcome.  Yeah, I found it when I was surfing the web.

Okay, and here are a couple more links.  This first one is from a google search in "images" for "mariana trench."  It shows the creatures that live in waters that deep (wild looking):

Thanks Gina

That 10% that is mapped of the Ocean floor reminds me that it is said that we use only 10% of our brain capacity. I guess that is better than if we were told we have reached our potential already!

Those scary pics...there's a sight!

haha!

Yeah, you know I also used to believe that people only use 10 percent of their brain capacity, too, but (and Fester, I think you're gonna love this one), that's actually incorrect:

http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=people-only-use-10-percent-of-brain

Although it's true that at any given moment all of the brain's regions are not concurrently firing, brain researchers using imaging technology have shown that, like the body's muscles, most are continually active over a 24-hour period. "Evidence would show over a day you use 100 percent of the brain," says John Henley, a neurologist at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn. Even in sleep, areas such as the frontal cortex, which controls things like higher level thinking and self-awareness, or the somatosensory areas, which help people sense their surroundings, are active, Henley explains.

But that's another post, I guess.

  I like that one too! Haha.. .that puts that false premise to its place to line up more with Biblical perspectives. The carnal natural man, that old man, that wretched Oh man, will never reach the heights of spiritual comprehension that is spiritually discerned!


Thanks G!
