Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the Universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots. So far, the Universe is winning.

There was just a report on the net about the remains of a giant seascorpion larger than the size of a person.
May 'the Google' be with you!

yes, and extinct for many millions of years They were probably killed off by fish and other more mobile critters.
Sea creatures can grow larger for the same basic shape than do land creatures because the water helps support their weight.
