My fellow geniuses at the University of Washington are reporting that they have developed a new autonomous submersible. One that is capable of reaching depths of nearly 9,000 feet and powered solely with the blood of a thousand under appreciated grad students.

“Deepglider opens up new research possibilities for oceanographers studying global climate change. The glider’s first trip revealed unexpected warming of water near the ocean floor, and scientists are interested in studying whether the temperatures are related to global warming.”

Two points for Al Gore and his man crush on climatology. Adios.
