Well no one has brought up the fact that they finally got pictures of the giant squid alive.

I'm a little dissapointed that the photos were so grainy but what can you do.

On a side note along the way I learned of an even larger and more aggressive squid rather uninspireingly called the colossal squid. Only two specimens of this squid have been found and both were juveniles.

The top pics were on the Daily Show.

Second to the last pic, the ring of teeth for the sucker of the colossus squid right?

Sort of it's the club on one of the two long arms and is different from the other eight, but yeah I think the other suckers are serrated too.

I've allways sort of believed stories of sea monsters since only 10% of the ocean is really explored, that and there is deffinately shit down there.

Look at the megamouth shark that was a huge shark that was unknown until recently.

I think we've really only seen the tip of the iceberg, the deep seas are like an alien planet we know more about the moon at this point.

Yeah, megamouth was a chance find. A downed pilot almost got sucked up by one, though it would have spit him up since it eats that tiny stuff in the water, what is it called?

Anyways. I'm sure that alot of viking and other sea man tales of giant squids and sea monsters are pretty true. Some... not all.

Damn girl, lay off the sauce.

I tend to think most myths are based on a grain of truth, it's only human nature to exagerate.

That said I think we've still yet to find the most exciting stuff.

Imagine walking down a dark alley at night and suddenly someone jumps out and repeatedly stabs you, except that's how you have sex.

I've always been interested in these things cuz they're so alien and unfathomably huge. Never heard of the colossal squid though, that's insane, why aren't they hunting after those? this was big news to me, i read it in the paper the day after it happened.

Probably because they've only found two intact specimens.

they know that they get much much larger because they have found Beaks and tentacles in whale stomachs.

The ocean covers some 70% of the planet not to mention the vertical space, in short land comprises only a tiny fraction of the livable space on earth (and we are still finding new species, especially in the remote jungles) there is no telling what lurks in the depths.

On a side note underwater recordings have revealed evidence of some large unknown creature bigger than any whale, that blows my mind.

When they get too big for the ocean, they'll be after our land

And scientists now believe the males had either accidentally inseminated themselves during "violent" lovemaking sessions with females or been inseminated by other males after "bumping" into them in the dark depths of the ocean.

"Oh sorry Carl, didn't mean to violently inseminate you there. I just sorta bumped into you by accident. No hard feelings, right?"

Really, it sounds more like they stumbled onto a squid prison.

Ahaha xD Gotta love the sea, eh?

When I was 5-year old I watched the documentaries by Jaques Costeau (spelling?) it was the most interesting thing I knew and I'm so lame that I still think that the documentaries are really interesting D:

Then I found out furry and noticed that all of them watch documentaries... so they can see things mating.
And the 5-year old little girl died in me a bit.

No, don't worry, the fandom has already covered that. I mean, there's squid and crab and tenty porn all over, so there can't be much more to pornify... Can there...?
