Personally I find Giant Squid to be the scariest motherf*ckin animals on the planet.IceBear wrote:They caught this not far from where I grew up:
Perhaps we inadvertantly took out one of their operatives?
They take chunks outta WHALES for chissakes... and they're down there somewhere... lurking.
Octopus are mainly just disturbingly smart...

Where I grew up we used to get a lot of squid come into the shallows to spawn and die (well, we did for a decade and then they stopped and no one is sure why).
Anyway, I was about 12 and fishing just off the side of the road into the ocean with a nice shiny lure for salt water trout or a tommy cod. Anyway, I guess a squid saw my nice shiny lure and attacked it. I brought it ashore and the damn then wasn't even hooked, it just wouldn't let go - just a mass of angry tentacles. I just cut the line and threw it back, and that sucker was only a foot long.
Another time we were scooping up squid for the fishermen as bait. I guess there was 3ft of water in the cove and it was just *filled* with squid. My buddy slipped and fell in. He had a dozen of the suckers attached to him when he crawled out. He still has a scar on his upper arm where one bit him.
Still, we had fun with squid. After they spawned, they got slow just before they died, so we could catch them with our hands and use them as living water squirters. One used ink once and ruined my favorite shirt - BASTARD - but normally they just shot water.

I grew up tending corn fields and I couldn't eat not stomach the smell of corn for years. I'm over it now. I still don't eat fish though. Blech. The concept of any food that tastes better the less it tastes like what it is baffles me. People complain that their fish tastes too fishy. The day I send back my steak becuase it has too much of a beefy taste, is probably the day I shoot myself in the head. What would you do if your potato was too tatery?

Funny, we do the same thing with captured mammals. They seem to always squirt yellow water or red ink for some reasonKagath wrote:LOL. Funny stuff.IceBear wrote:snip...
