This one's for Dev Dave
Proof that we all have something in common if you look hard enough.
We now have film of one of Adrian II's giant cephalopod overlords feeding, and not only are they speedy little suckers, they light up like christmas trees when they are doing it.

How cool are giant squid? Very cool, my friends.
Note to non-squid fans: nothing here for you, keep walking.

I love calamari.
There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

Re: This one's for Dev Dave
That's a lot of calamari at that.

Yes, imagine a Giant Squid menu...we could make a stake, some chips, a soup and still have enough of it left to make a large calmari pizza with some baby octopus and other delicious seafood.

This whole topic is not PETA approved and anyone who posts here is bad and a result of George W. Bush's evil policies toward squid. (posted on John Edwards official unoffical nonpaid but paid non volunteer unscrubbed but soaped down staff web site)

The BBC seems to share EA and DevDave's interest in giant squid; just following its links we have:
A captured colossal squid:

A squid that resembles the aliens in Independence Day:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/1723595.stm
And a rather sad squid that looks for all the world like an enormous rolled tortilla or pancake, about to be a petrel's breakfast:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/813394.stm
Venturing a little further afield, this site has some nice photos of the giant squid's "circular-saw-like sucker rings" and the colossal squid's "tentacle club with swiveling hooks":

And if the calamari ever ate the diner, it would be with a beak such as that shown here:

Re: This one's for Dev Dave
Naturally. As Sir Walter Scott nearly put it, "breathes there the man with soul so dead, Who never to himself hath said, Flipping heck, those giant squid are great"The BBC seems to share EA and DevDave's interest in giant squid;
Seriously, if anyone can think of a reason NOT to be interested in giant squid, I'd like to hear it. I can't remember if John Craven's Newsround had a giant squid correspondent (very possibly the space correspondent had to double up instead) but they should have.

Re: This one's for Dev Dave
Of course there is also this unusual specimen.

Re: This one's for Dev Dave
This thread inspired me. Immediately after reading it I headed to Golden Chopsticks (my favorite daytime Chinois place) for lunch and had squid with black bean sauce on steamed rice.
Deeeeeeeelicious!

Re: This one's for Dev Dave
I love squid as well.
....those muscular, yet flexible bodies....The squid, which can measure over 2m (7ft) in length, deftly swim backwards and forwards by flapping their large, muscular fins. They are able to alter their direction rapidly by bending their flexible bodies.
did I type that or was
I just thinking it?
