    No doubt he was found "deep beneath the rolling waves, in labyrinths of coral caves."
    I'm holding out for the Wilson-mixed 5.1 super-duper walletbuster special anniversary extra adjectives edition.

    Seems kind of odd:

    "A newly-discovered shrimp species with a bright pink claw and the ability to produce one of the loudest sounds in the ocean"

    It produces one of the loudest sounds in the ocean, but was just discovered? Are they just not trying very hard to find things any more?

    Not impressed. Yes came first, when a veneral disease was named after a Steve Howe instrumental.

    A lot of what they thought was non-specific background noise or equipment faults are now known to be shrimp popping their claws.

    I have an LP by ambient composer Francisco Lopez where one side is an underwater recording featuring the clatter of thousands of tiny shrimp clicking their claws.

    OK, let's just say the album title now has devolved to Clutching At Straws.
