Many deep sea animals feed on marine snow- tiny particles that fall through the water column, made up of dead or dying organisms, feces and dust! The Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station is home to the 300 Club- were participants warm up in a 200F sauna, then go out in minus 100F or colder weather and run around the ceremonial South Pole naked! Weekend with Jeffrey! Two men were charged with taking the corpse of Jeffrey Jarret, who died on Aug. 27, 2011, along with them and using his money to pay for a night of drinking and partying in Denver, Colo., USA!

If I remember the article correctly, the two guys argued they didn’t know the third guy was dead. As we say in Oz..got stiffed.

The 300 club reminds me of Lorne Elliott’s song: “The Smallest Thing That’s Known to Man”

Those deep-sea animals are like vacuum cleaners! They help make the water less polluted.

Let’s face it: Life at the South Pole would bore many of us out of our minds.

I doubt the accuracy of the 300 club item. Even at the south pole, minus 100 F is not the norm. I have been in sweats that were very hot, but much cooler than 200, you can get burns at cooler temperatures than that.

You might wind up in Jeffery’s condition doing the 300.

Wasn’t that a plot for a movie? “Weekend at Bernie’s” IIRC…
