Okay, okay. Before you start informing your nearest and dearest, loading up the Vauxhall Astra with essentials and heading north, we're confident you're not going to get killed. Confident... but not 100%.Why? Well dear reader, the fossilised skull of a colossal "sea monster" has been unearthed along the UK's Jurassic Coast. That's right, a "sea monster".
The immense predator, which is called a pliosaur, terrorised the oceans 150 million years ago - gulping down surfing cavemen for fun. (What's that? Cavemen weren't around 150 million years ago? Nonsense).
The skull alone is 2.4m long, and experts say it could belong to one of the largest pliosaurs ever found: measuring up to 16m in length.
Palaeontologist Richard Forrest told the BBC: "I had heard rumours that something big was turning up. But seeing this thing in the flesh, so to speak, is just jaw dropping. It is simply enormous."
So, that's that then. We've been in the sea for the last time. Speedo trunks for sale, anyway?
