Jumbo squid that can grow up to 7 feet long and weigh more than 110 pounds is invading central California waters

You see? Two years ago, wave one, six feet long, 17 lbs, dead. Two years later, wave two, 7 feet long, 110 lbs, alive. See where this is going?

Memo to Californian Orgahs: move to Montana, now, while you still can. Y' all don't want to be around when the 500 lb amphibious squid hit the beaches in 2009. I mean :
