Vingt mille lieues sous les mers


For the first time ever scientists were able to capture a giant squid alive, as well as film the whole ordeal. This is especially good because the squid died almost immediately after it was captured.

"It took two people to pull it in,” Dr Kubodera said, “and they lost it once, which might have caused the injuries that killed it . . . “It struggled furiously to escape by spouting water from its funnel. This means they can actually swim pretty fast, in addition to their normal movement just drifting in deep waters,”


When snack time goes bad.

Some say it died of massive stress, i might tend to agree judging from the look on its face. However, once i realized that squids eyes always look like that, ive decided that it most likely died of a broken heart. However, I especially don't give a fuck really because giant squids are literally so 4 years ago. My main over sized cuttlefish preoccupations have been directed towards the much more impressive sounding colossal squid species as of late. That having been said, i am always interested in mans struggle to subdue gargantuan beasts, as well as elusiveness and all things which fall under its black curtain. However, this is almost as bad as the time i found out Santa wasn't real, or even worse, the time i found out Arnold Schwarzenegger WAS real.
