New Deep Sea Squid

texchanchan writes: "Yahoo reports on a newly discovered species of deep-sea squid, quoting scientists as saying the creatures are very different from normal giant squids. 'New species are a dime a dozen. This is fundamentally different' in behavior and appearance -- with 10 identical long skinny arms and a jellyfish-like hunting strategy. 'We don't know of any cephalopod that has arms like that.' --Michael Vecchione of the U.S. National Marine Fisheries Service. 'I had never seen anything like this creature,' oceanographer William Sager of Texas A&M says."

    Actualy the ablity to spell has little to do with that. According to the standardized tests I've taken, I'm in the top 7% of collage students.

    That's totaly irrelevent, however. As we are not talking about my ablity to classify squids, but rather the researchers in comparison to some slashdotter who read a Yahoo! news story about it. If you had any kind of intelegence, you would realize this. My intelegence has nothing to do with their ablity to classify squid.
