Bloodworth, you jerk, I typed this reply originally before you moved the thread to the funhouse, and got a lovely error message for my troubles.

I think it was just last year that some fishermen hooked one and managed to take some pictures of it before it got away.
I'm pretty sure that was a giant squid near New Zealand. I watched a program about it on the Discovery Channel.
Sorry for the move. I was inspired at the last second.

Even if I'm an idiot, though, it's all still amazing.

I wonder what else the deep deep sea has hidden down there?

I spend way to much time trying to figure out what it could possibly be an acronym for and I always come up with nothing.

QuoteOk, just so you know, I knew that BBQ = barbecue. but when paired up with OMG(oh my god) & WTF(what the f***) I just assumed it had to mean somethingelse cause barbecue wouldn't make sense.

Thanks for clearing that up though, cause now I know its thrown in just for the hell of it.

This is off the subject a tad bit, but anyone see that prehistorical shark that was video taped a few weeks ago, maybe a month ago, found in Japan's ocean. Thing looked like a mix from a shark and a prehistoric eel. I'll find the video is anyone is interested.

Anyways, Here is the News Report about it showing the guy swimming next to it and it out of the water. Was the one I saw on Reuters, though Rhoq's is shorter and the main footage, so nothing really different besides the end when it's laid out and in english.

QuoteMmmmm.....
One expert said calamari rings made from it would be like tractor tyres.
Both the squid and the shark are cool. I find ocean biology very interesting, but I am definitely an armchair enthusiast...I don't want to go anywhere near those icky fish, except if they're on my dinner plate!

There is a pic of the fish and even a cell phone camera video too.

However, ufologists and scientists were greatly disappointed when they found out that the fishermen had eaten the monster. They said that they were not scared of the creature so they decided to use it as food. One of the men said that it was the most delicious dish he had ever eaten.

"Russian Fishermen catch squeaking Alien, and then eat it"
Why does that seem so appropriate?
Russia's so weird.

QuoteWhen you need to have a drink, I find it is best to not do it alone. But just cause someone somewhere is drinking at the same time as you, that doesn't mean they are drinking with you.
