The Ghost of Jules Vern would be very happy

Just don't think about lots of calimari. I read somewhere that these things taste NASTY.

Jeez, and I told lego- "Duuude, that thing is going to grow huuuge"

But he was like "noooo, my baby will die anyways. Putting him out to sea would be the best thing for him anyways."

See what you did lego?
You know, i should work on this.

Heh...I find it amusing that this story from National Geographic actually appeared in our main paper Down Here two days before hand! :)

Oh yeah! I saw that on the Daily Show. Though I know they've found specimines before...washed up on beaches and such. Just not living.

I think it's the first LIVE one that's been photographed.

Even still...that's pretty crazy. We've got pictures of the further reaches of space and yet this is the first time we've managed to photograph a giant squid...a creature right here on Earth we've known existed for hundreds of years? That's nuts.

*shrug* Random chance. Nobody thought of hiring schoolgirls as assistants on a giant squid photographing expedition before.
This webcomic, seen here is hosted on the free web host Comic Genesis which pretty much proves its not popular.
Oh noes! Read all about the tormented artist I am!

There's still a lot out there that we really don't know about. Look at how long it took us to discover coelocanths.

They're full of ammonia, I understand. Doesn't do much for the taste.

Aw, that's not fair! We knew about coelocanths from prehistoric fossils...we just didn't realise they were still around...

In Tasmania there's one tree growing...it's the only specimen of it's kind. That's pretty impressive. Good news is the blokes who discovered and verified it won't tell any bugger where it is! :)
