I just hope he has written a will. Otherwise mambo ni byad. He should have deposited tat WILL with the lawyer like yesterday! The fact that he tried to "shuuu" the Owl and pelted it with some stones but the Owl still stood its ground and even "Nkted" him makes him the ONLY choice to be taken to makueni. By the way us we're told that if we see an Owl we should not shout and instead should keep quiet and assume you havent seen it and pray that it goes away soonest. Portfolio: Sold

There is this movie "Life of Pi" that had such a scene. My hinterland african brain couldn't conceptualize floating on 11kms of water and not only that to see your ship sinking into the 11km abyss that is the Mariana Trench. I watched the documentary; cant remember the title' but it was good, in a eerie sort of way and quite informative. I watched it at night and i had nightmares afterwards.

For me the sheer water pressure at 11km is what is intriguing..
Those creatures in the marianas do not have air in their bodies unlike us humans - so ur lungs push out pressure when you enter water but as the depth levels rise the external water pressure becomes too much and your lungs would just...collapse, bleeding as nitrogen levels rise in your blood to dangerous levels.
In fact pple who were trapped and died in submarines that malfunctioned and crashed to the bottom of the sea, never even bothered to get out and swim to the top thousands of feet above them coz the minute they would have opened the escape hatch of their subs they would have been crushed just like egg shells...and so they awaited rescue or death, whicever would come earlier, as carbon dioxide levels rose to acidic proportions with each of their breath consuming vital but very scarce oxygen...most likely fate that befell some sailors on the Russian sub KURSK 16 years ago....
But for these creatures without air in their bodies, the pressure problem is in this way therefore solved. So I imagine these must be really giant crab and octopuses in the marianas if they are of the negligible senescent species...
Over 75% of the ocean depths are unexplored, meaning so many sea species we dont even begin to imagine exist, scary yet exciting...tafakari hayo
