IN NYC, we have unfiltered water. It's the envy of the world.

Aw c'mon Kif's no ghost.

This is pretty, and it's always fun to make slo-mo montages set to Enya-esque music of the apocalypse, but I think this is one of those activities where it's all actually much much cooler at actual speed.

Totes. Check out video of humpback whales bubble fishing. Imagine coming across something like that in 1000 B.C. - this giant multi-armed, multi-mouthed writhing gaping thing emerging from the sea in a foam of bubble. Christmas Day.
