This is amazing. 

Japanese scientists took pictures of a 25 foot (8 meter) giant squid in the wild.  Amazing.  And scary!

Here is a link to a different story.  This is a photo of a mystery sea creature that washed ashore in Chile.  41 feet long.  The size of a school bus (and twice as long as Rvertigo's school bus).

Anther newly discovered giant squid in Gulf of Mexico, Atlantic.  10 tentacles and dumbo ears.  27 feet wide.  Nutso.

I'd hate to run into a pissed off one of those things...

A humbolt squid is no bigger than a man but if it hits you it could f' you up pretty bad.  I imagine the beek on a 25 footer would cut a man pretty much cut a man in half.

Yeah... It could crush your head without trying...  It could probably take a pretty damn big bite of you too...

And my ancestors were sailors...  Morons!

Wait, I thought they were pirates?

Remember the new pirate movie that is coming out?  The one that is rated Ahhrrrrrrrr!!!

amazingly, it took me all the way to google image search page 14 to find a picture of that kind of squid.  I was expecting a sandals wearing dude on a gixsix on page 1.

I was super bored on Friday.  And giant sea creatures are cool.

You're cool too, Amanda.    Much cooler than a real giant squid.
