Squid look like huge testicles with tentacles. IJS.
And a razor-sharp beak. Don't forget the razor-sharp beak.
That aside, I had no idea that there was a surfeit of pointy testicles out there. With fins.
Right. Piano. Because that's what we used to kill that big demon that one time. No, wait. That was a rocket launcher.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Speaking of giant squid - I'm considering getting this t-shirt: [link]

On last night's "I Survived a Japanese Game Show", the final challenge to determine which of the losing team would go home was a race to see who could rip the most heads off a line of hanging squid--with their teeth. Sure, $250,000 goes to the overall winner, but, damn, I might just say, "You know? You can have it, I'm going home."

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
They're curious! And, um, you know, way more suited to the environment so their curiosity can kill ... you.
Cassie, NO.
I'd need to know if the Humboldt squid would protect me from sharks before jumping in. Movie posters have led me to imagine it's a possibility.

Not all squid are Moop Moop. Just remember that.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I, for one, will gladly welcome our new, cephalopod overlords.

Outside mag did a feature story on the Humboldt Squid that's pretty scary. [link]
Reading the newspaper article makes me want to read the Outside article again. The San Diegan divers are saying many of the squid just seemed curious. eta: Now I'm wondering if the Outside people were poking them or chumming them or what. memfault.
I'd be in camp of unwilling to go in the water. I once snorkled into shallow reef waters off I think it was Carricou or Mayreau and a cuttlefish zipped by under me by about 6 inches. I thought I was going to have a heart attack. They're about as big as keyboard wrist pad. Beautiful, too, irridescent as their edges flutter. It's enough to make me think about the idea of the sea kitten thing, though never enough to get to to stop eating those puppies.

I need input from the Stunthusband, other LotR geeks and freaks and jewelry mavens.
Emmett has become obsessed with getting replicas of the Three Elven Rings. I'm seeing some dodgy looking near-misses out there. Which ones are the best? (most accurate to the movie/prettiest)
