Wait, there are spiders IN THE SEA?! Tight. Even more places where I can't relax my arachnophobia.


They're not arachnids, but they do look like spiders: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sea_spider


That was my exact thought as well. They are not real spiders, apparently, but they sure resemble them.

It's interesting that I had not heard of these at all until about fifteen minutes ago.


I always enjoy seeing the university I went to pop up on hackernews


I guess I’m not the only one!
