Giant Squid Caught on Film
caffeined writes "I think almost every geek's heart must skip a beat when they hear about giant squids (think "Jules Verne"). It appears the two Japanese researchers have managed (for the first time) to get actual footage of a live giant squid in action. It was "only" 26 feet long (a little more than 8m) which is big enough for me." Update: Pictures and no registration required at National Geographic.

I think gaint squid are interesting. That being said, I think maybe the submitter needs to get out more and enjoy some human companionship if his heart skips a beat at the thought of squid. Either that or his ex-girlfriends must have been really monstrous.

Damn right. I remember that day back in 6th grade where we got into a huge fight over the existance of the giant squid.
I had said that carcasses were found, and after making fun of me for using the word "carcass," you proceeded to articulate further on my sexuality (which, btw, you couldnt have been more wrong about.)
Tom, you then declared, through some haphazard strange conglomeration of swears and 6th grade dialogue, that you would drink your own pee if it were real.
Im going to find your number, and ask if you are going to do it. Just to fuck with you.

Researcher 1: OMFG! We just caught a Giant Squid on camera!
Researcher 2: Quick, let's get an article up and not give them any pictures!
Researcher 1: Perfect!
Eh. Nothing exciting here.
Now, if it were giant squids with frickin' laser beams attached to their heads...
the hell with that....how long until we capture them and start putting lasers and darts on them??
You know what. I've seen goatse links before. They are grotesque. But this just crosses the line. Can we get the IP banned?

That's what Calimari say when they get caught like that.
You never expect irony, do you?

Well, at a guess, just like a normal squid, only bigger.
Thank god the hunt is over. That was obviously worth the effort.
If the pattern goes 9am, 10am, 11am, why isn't noon 12am?
you're forgetting the latest exchange rate. The foot has really been taking a hit lately.
All Japanese seafood research involves a hook. This is just an exension of their use of whales for scienfic purposes. mmmm... scientific purposes in garlic butter.

Vin Diesel could take one on... probably two on a good day.
so at the very least, they could put a giant squid inside a submarine.
He could wear a little captain's hat and pretend to steer.
I'd mod you up if I could. And you owe me a coke and a keyboard.

Our top priority should be hunting them down and defeating them. They're much too large to not be a danger to us: we might be looking at the new WHALES here people.

I guess if you got a couple of Slashdotters to try it out in space you'd have two less lonely people in the world.
I dunno, it's entirely possible that Air Supply already has quite a bit of experience with vasoline, skin-tight body suits, etc... maybe they could go up and try it out.
