Subject: Crab vs Pipe

(found hidden at the LA Museum of Natural History website,
http://crustacea.nhm.org/~dean2/crab.html):

This is a video taken in 6000 feet of water.  An undersea robot is sawing a
3mm wide slit (1/10th of an inch ... remember that width) in a pipeline. The
pressure inside the pipeline is 0 psig, while the pressure outside is 2700
psi, or 1.3 tons per square inch.  Then a crab comes along....

We figured this was probably not a good sequence to feature in the "Hall of
Ocean Life" at the Museum.
