First Ever Flourescent Shark Found

We woke up to a morning that appeared almost unnaturally beautiful. The ocean was calmer than I have ever seen it - one could see a school of fish swimming 30 (well, at least 20) feet below the surface. On such a day, I reasoned, we are most likely of all days to film the Giant Squid, catch the Scarlet-Eyed Lobster and/or find the terrifying but magnificent Jaguar Shark. Surely enough, the Giant Squid still likes to be sighted in South Pacific rather than in the Gulf of Mexico, the Jaguar Shark is found only in "The Life Aquatic" movie and as for the Scarlet-Eyed Lobster, I just made this one up. Still, physicists tell us that things that are believed to be impossible are in fact only ALMOST impossible. In other words, they are a tiny bit possible after all. Today was a day when this kind of thought felt particularly encouraging.
