The water pressure at 3,500 feet (1,066.8 meters) below sea level is 1,558 pounds per square inch (706.7 kilograms per 6.45 square centimeters). 1,558 pounds is about the weight of a Holstein cow, so being 3,500 feet below sea level would be like having a herd of cows standing on you. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5655c1fae4b0c668da44dddb/1527779272652-1GQWJKJ23M0HQ4X89INM/Vampire+Squid+Filament Science=Awesomeness - What do vampire squid eat? http://www.kevkurtz.com/his-blog/2018/3/28/are-the-germs-that-give-you-a-cold-not-actually-alive monthly 0.5 2019-02-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5655c1fae4b0c668da44dddb/1522244524989-UXIPQUCBOKHEJX69MCVQ/Anthrax+Bacteria Science=Awesomeness - Are the germs that give you a cold not actually alive? Those rod like things above that look like dashed lines are Anthrax bacteria. These bacteria aren't actually purple.

Even though this looks kind of like a latch hook rug of a soccer ball, it is a computer-generated image of one of the viruses that give us colds. This type is called a rhinovirus. It does not have that name because it will turn you into a rhinoceros (though that would be awesome). "Rhino" is the Greek word for nose. Cold viruses basically take over your nose, so they are called "rhinoviruses." https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5655c1fae4b0c668da44dddb/1522683906969-I1R9NERERU1ZD6IDBOZF/latch+hook+rug+soccerball Science=Awesomeness - Are the germs that give you a cold not actually alive?
