giant prehistoric scorpionWell, I cannot say these news came as a surprise… Besides, the planet’s past has already revealed some amazing sea monsters among other things. I wonder if whatever life form prevails a million years from now will look back on people fossils and say “this terrible creature almost destroyed the planet”, - insert evil laughter and grin here -

Anyway, here’s the thing, scientists in Europe discovered the fossilized claw of a sea scorpion. From that, they managed to estimate the monster’s size at about 8 feet. That is one big pest if you ask me. I sure hope they truly are extinct… Although that isn’t something I ever expected I’d say. But really, the way the ecosystem and life on earth is nowadays, a giant sea scorpion simply would not compute.
