The Kraken wakes ...
It lives in the deep ocean, it goes "bloop", and the US navy's sonar
array keeps picking it up. Whatever it is, the sound it emits is at a
very low frequency, implying that the animal producing it is enormous --
larger than a blue whale. Candidates include a 747-sized giant squid,
or maybe great Cthulhu.
I always find it rather humbling to remember that there are vast reaches
of the deep ocean floor that we know less about than the far side of the moon ...
