Japan Researchers Film Live Giant Squid
A Japanese research team has succeeded in filming a giant squid live – possibly for the first time – and says the elusive creatures may be more plentiful than previously believed, a researcher said Friday.
The research team, led by Tsunemi Kubodera, videotaped the giant squid at the surface as they captured it off the Ogasawara Islands south of Tokyo earlier this month. The squid, which measured about 24-feet long, died while it was being caught.
Nummy.
UPDATE: If you’re waiting around for someone to post something else, don’t. Go check out some of the stuff at Joe’s Dartblog, though.
Nature Imitates Bad Japanese Movie
This stuff just keeps kraken me up.
*groan*
Does Ed McMahon sleep at your house?
What do Texans call a 24-foot long giant squid?
Bait.
Thank you, thank you very much. I’ll be here all week. Try the veal….
*Uhhhhhhhnnnnggghhh*
must duct tape head…
Dan, I think a kraken joke was the wrong way to go here. Any story about japanese researchers finding a large lifeform should obviously call for a Gamera or Godzilla joke–or maybe Pokemon if you want to switch it up. Save the kraken jokes for Greek researchers. Otherwise, it’s like serving white wine with steak.
Or cold fish with beer nuts.
your turn…
Calamari for everyone!
Yumping yiminy! I’ll never go yogging again!
Sushi
Hmmm.
Sushi eh?
That’s one big-ass ball of rice you’re going to need there Sushi-Boy.
Sushi for 100,000, to be served in shifts.
That’s why you never go deep sea fishing with Asians: the bait is gone before you cast your line.
“WELEASE THE KWACKEN!”
(It’s a twofer.)
Kraken, please.
