We continue our current train of inquiry

delving into the DEEEEEEEEP.

DEET-DEET...DEET...DEET-DEET-DEET...DEET...DEET...FJORDNEWS!...DEET...DEET

Fresh off the heels of the anti-terrrrorist-killer-dolphin escape to
THIS!!!!!

For the first time EVER a giant squid has been caught on camera, alive, and in the wild! Some marine-wildlife studying dudes have done what nobody's ever done. Captured the beastie on film - live! (Here's another place with a still photo series and if you look on the right hand side of the first link (at the bbc) there's a link to video - which I'm going to check out as soon as I get done writing this.

However, the details: The squid was about 8 meters long (umm, near 24' long) and after being hooked 500 meters down (real real deep) the hook ripped off a chunk of the squid's tentacle which was about 15 feet long.

Rad. This thing would eat you and your family without even trying, and they've been trying to catch one on film for about ooooh, 20 years or so. I think this is a good sign fair readers, I really do. Things are starting to look up from here!
