Also, here's an article about giant squid sex.

I have nothing to add to that, really.

Here in Chile we have BIG squids, not so long as 8 meter, but 1.5 meter as a mean. They bring just problem to the fisher and fish vendors, because they eat the fishes that they sell. squids are very tasty though (well, al least they're tasty for me )

Wow, that's wild.

Given the way the pictures were talked about, I was expecting some kind of clearer shot of the entire animal.

Well, it says it left a 6 meter long tentacle, so this thing is obviously huge.

Sushi? It wouldn´t surprise me. Soon, the giant squid will become a delicacy.

There´s a video? I´ll watch that on my computer when I get to the dorm.

I think that giant squids are interesting.

If MacGuyver were still around, he could fashion an infallable way to capture a live giant squid using an empty soda bottle, assorted wire and quite possibly some tooth paste or chewing gum. Seriously, this is quite interesting. I cannot access the video, for some reason it won't play properly. Does anyone have a direct link to the file, or a mirror? And though the various articles I've seen on this subject reference the fact that the researchers have released "over 500 pictures," I've yet to see more than the same six over and over again. Don't they have a website somewhere to host at least a few dozen of these pictures?

Error on your part, might be codecs...it uses Windows Media Player (I know because it told me it wasn't sure if the one on my system would work..but, it did )

I installed some codecs a while ago and that can screw the videos up for the rest of the players out there.

So I removed it. I had that problem even when those codecs were installed. Too bad I can´t see the video.

Edit: I played that video in Windows Media Player.

Thermal vision! That looks weird.

Where's the video? I can't find it...

Squids gross me out. And kalamari, in my opinion, is horrifyingly disgusting.

I don't like kalamari, either. I was at this place and my brother got some. One of the pieces was perfectly in the shape of a baby octopus. It was gross and saddening at the same time. And of course he laughed.

The tentacles were curled and everything.
