Deletion
I had to delete this:


 * But research has shown that it is all just a lie. Fish do not really exist and neither do we. It is all just a big lie created to give us comfort in knowing that there is a point to living.

. . . but it was with some regret. Iralith 20:32, 14 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Edits
Hey, there really is no such thing as a fish, according to cladistics. Not unless we are fish, which gives extra point to the regretfully deleted assertion that neither fish nor we exist.

But seriously, folks, most extreme? Gimme a break. That's more unique than something that's a little bit infinite. Or, as a Disney short asserted many years ago, "This factory [for curling stones] is so unique that there is only one other in the world."

More seriously yet: I re-arrangeded the items in the lead sentence for a reason: Isopods are Crustaceans. Look it up. Hence, including them after "and various invertebrates" is badly misleading if not just plain wrong. Sheesh, what do I care about abyssal gigantism, anyway? Dandrake 00:46, Sep 15, 2004 (UTC)

Fish?
Sorry to raise another fish question, but if this phenomenon affects invertibrates but explicitly not fish, why is the oarfish one of our examples? --Iustinus 02:42, 12 October 2005 (UTC)

Is it just me?...
...Or does that picture look really fake? Maybe it's jsut the lighting, but something about it seems off. In all respects, we should probably just get a better picture anyways. --Wikiwøw ­­ 23:50, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Looks very real to me. Mgiganteus1 00:05, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

The Blue Planet series was not created by David Attenborough, it was simply narrated by him. David Attenborough has however created the "Life" series. 82.41.10.157 (talk) 10:17, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

What?
"It is not known[citation needed]"

Do you really need to cite a source for a LACK of knowledge? I can understand that claims need sources...but no claim is being made, just an admission that there is a lack of knowledge. EvaXephon (talk) 03:45, 15 May 2009 (UTC)

Cause unknown?
I know this isn't the forum for it, but… I always thought they are bigger because they have more space. 80.98.146.68 (talk) 09:34, 14 December 2011 (UTC)

What happened on 8/29?
This page just suddenly got almost 10,000 pageviews. What happened? -Aven Az13 (talk) 00:31, 5 September 2019 (UTC)
 * What happened on July 30, when we got almost 100,000? It must have received mention somewhere. WolfmanSF (talk) 04:01, 5 September 2019 (UTC)

Pressure
I thought that is was the pressure that was making them get bigger because I thought it was like a vacuum chamber, inflating them. IdkWhatToNames (talk) 21:22, 15 April 2022 (UTC)
