Let's Call It "Leviathan"

How satisfying is it when scientists discover proof of real things that should be imaginary?!

On the other hand, since when have scientists been naming prehistoric beasts marketing-ready, sensation-titillating titles like "Leviathan?" I am disturbed by this.

But that's a really really big, toothy whale! And it's awesome!

I also like knowing that these somewhat mythical/mystical fears of deep, dark places come from some ancient universal knowledge of death. Or the means of death by large, unpredictable, meat-eating creatures. Now we're just afraid of the idea of the threat.
