I went swimming in the sea many times on my last vacation. Then we went fishing, and the sea captain threw the fish's guts in the water. Within five seconds ten sharks swarmed up and ate them. And those sharks were probably swimming around, checking out my attractive skinny white legs flipping around in the water, just waiting to eat them.

The moral of this story? You just have to guess.

But dude, it's got electrolytes n' some other stuff in it.

Mmmmmm.

I'm not sure what to say.

Some comments on that site say that there's no way that 25x can produce this image with a camera, though it does depend on where the sample is.

I'm headed down to Cali for 17 days this summer..........the same thing is going through my head as I day dream about some snorkeling, some kayaking and some surfing.

Take a 25X of a drop of bottle water and tap water and lets see what that looks like. Wouldn't surprise me for a second if it looks similar.

THINGS LIVE IN WATER!?!? NO WAY!!!!

I call BS. If that photo was magnified 25 times, wouldn't you still be able to see some things, like the larger critter middle left?

[Gross-Misconduct]

It's the sea lol i dont know what people were expecting...triple distilled?

[hockeyville88]

Imagine there was a condition or a superpower where you could magnify everything and view it at its microscopic core. That would be cool but also kinda gross IMO. How many of us would want to swim in water that we knew looked like what it does in that pic!

[Tystick]

Looks delicious

[Mathew Barzal]

I don't get it, are people surprised to find organisms like this at a microscopic level?
