Finally, after all these years, they got pictures of Architeuthis, the giant squid.
Researchers have been trying to do that forever – they’ve seen dead ones, and young ones, but this is the first time anyone has ever gotten pictures of them, mature and moving. Scientists have even hitched cameras to sperm whales to get footage of Architeuthis, to no avail.
Hey. You know, I have a cephalopod tattooed on my arm. I’m into this shit.
As a fellow geek I must say: That is FUCKING awesome.
25 feet long! cool!
I love discoveries, pictures, etc.. like this.
You, Karl? A geek? Noooo…
It’s true, Merrick. I can even show you my geek mating dance. Come closer.
There’s a few more geeks around here than you think. I heard about this a couple days ago, but didn’t really believe they’d find anything. Those picture, I have to say, are really fucking cool.
Is that a squid on your arm, or are you just happy to see me?
xoxoxo
*swoon*
You swoon over cephalopods? Boots, boots, my crush on you deepens.

I do love Snopes…
Fuck.
The spider dreams are back.
Rachel, honey, when you get back from your weird vacation, do NOT click that link.
Forced perspective, Ray! Look at the arm in the foreground. They’re like the size of tarantulas, not the size of dachshunds!
That was the first headline I clicked on when I logged onto the net at work today. That’s some serious calamari.
Too bad the sperm-cams didn’t work. I would’ve liked to see the battle between whale and squid.
Didn’t I see that in Moby Dick?
Heheh, sperm, dick.
Sperm-cams.
Hey, I have an idea…
Of Course you do, Ray. Of course you do…
Squid Success
The Moronosphere tells us that scientists have finally taken pictures of living the architeuthis, giant squid. So, it actually happened in my lifetime and all myths and legends have been averted: they do exist. Many have found these giant squid…
