What I learned on my summer vacation

"... mesopelagic fishes--that is, those in the region between 200 and 1,000 meters (-660 to 3,300 feet) below the sea surface--... have gas-filled swim bladders to help them remain neutrally buoyant. When these fishes are caught and brought rapidly to the sea surface, the consequent drop of hydrostatic pressure may cause, among other physiological stresses, expansion of the gas bladder, which will force internal organs out of their mouth and cause death."

This, and finding out that the eyes on a flatfish will move to one side of their head like a Picasso painting, are the coolest ocean fun facts ever.

Boy, what the hell with Isaac Hayes? Bernie Mac had pneumonia, so that wasn't going well already, but Isaac Hayes? What the hell happened? Weird, weird.
