We've been to the moon. We've been to the bottom of the Mariana Trench (well, James Cameron has). We've pretty much mapped almost the entire landmass of the earth with Google Maps. And yet we've never seen a grub that's a foot long, and there's a bunch of them out there. I love the earth.

I have been to the Great Wall of China. I have seen the Pyramids of Egypt. I've even witnessed a grown man satisfy a camel. But never in all my years as a sportscaster have I witnessed something as improbable, as impossible, as what we've witnessed here.

What is crazy to me is the Earth's mantle. It's only a few miles away, it makes up over 80% of the Earth's volume and nobody has ever seen it.
