The ocean contains many mysterious cryptids, and some of the most bizarre were seen beneath the waves. From cave dwelling humanoids to fish that shouldn't possibly exist, these are the cryptids of the deep sea.

Today I learned that the first drum machine was invented in the 12th century by Ismail al-Jazari, the father of robotics, who created a automaton band that played instruments powered by the flow of water. It featured a drummer whose rhythm could be programmed via wooden pegs in slots.
