Why "First"?

Isn't "Methane-powered sea spiders discovered crawling on ocean floor" enough creepy for you?

I mean, they're on the sea floor. They more than likely cant possibly survive depressurizing to get on land.

That's very reassuring. Wouldn't want them in one's own bed, they'd get fat on farts.
