If calamari rings were made from the squid they would be the size of tractor tires, he added

Exactly what I was going to say!

They will finally be able to study one that is in a non-deteriorated state..

Huh, apparently it is actually a "colossal" squid, which is actually bigger than a "giant" squid.

Posted: **Thu Feb 22, 2007 12:24 pm**

That thing is huge. They have been trying to catch one of those for a while. Should be interesting to see what they find out after studying the thing.

I just read about this in the newspaper but the article was teensy and there wasn't a picture of the squid. Thanks for linking to something with a little more detail!

In other news:

The largest bowl of tzatziki dip was discovered off the coast of Greece...

coincidence? you decide.

Holy Crapatron. If that isn't a Kraken, it's the closest we'll ever see to one.

Posted: **Sat Feb 24, 2007 12:02 am**

The kraken was a squid. Just not nearly as large as the ancient stories exaggerated it to be.

I'd love to have that sucker in my fishtank. :mrgreen:

Now that is really cool, thanks for posting that. I was jsut watching a program on this on Discovery not too long ago (though I think it was Fiant Squid). Some japanese scientist and devoted his life in trying to find them and then he finally got the first images of one in the wild. Then this comes out...pretty cool stuff...and man o man is that sucker huge.

Wonder if it will every go on display. I hope so because well i live in wellington and i wanna see this thing.
