It shows how little we know about animals that are thought of as "common".

Things like this are interesting, but I think most of us would find the job of a biologist to be a bit on the boring side. They typically do a lot of paperwork. It's kind of like policemen (yeah, women too), the ones I have talked to spend more time filling out paperwork than chasing the bad guys. Any thoughts from Biff on this?

We know more about space than do the oceans.

Hey, until a year ago, I thought corals were plants :shock:. Yeah, I did feel rather dumb when I found out they were animals.

Funny ... and now I don't feel quite like such an idiot :D.
This is what gets me captivated with this hobby. There is so much to learn, so many details to consider, it makes it very cool. I had a guy at my last military duty tell me I was a strange man for enjoying reefing. I couldn't argue with him, but love it anyway.

Well, not "paperwork" per se, but a lot of writing reports and reading other people's work (research). I'm really lucky that in my particular job I'm not stuck behind a desk all day. I'd say my time is spend 50/50 between field work (outdoors, mostly) and office work. The office work is basically writing up the report for whatever it was I did in the field. Although at time is frustrating... For example, today I spent 6 hours on paperwork for sending samples to a lab for just ONE JOB I'm working on. That's not the fieldwork or the writing of the report, that's 6 hours of paperwork just to mail the stuff!!
