Sep 27 05: sucker punch
Hail, Architeuthis! Hail, many-tentacled emperor of the depths! Hail, beak and arm, eye and mantle, ghostly and terrible all!
A team of Japanese scientists announced today that they had taken the world’s first photographs of a live giant squid. It attacked a bag of shrimp hanging in nearly 3,000 feet of water as a remote camera watched. It then spent something like 45 minutes disentangling itself from the hooked bait. It left behind an 18-foot tentacle and some spectacular images.
Go see.
