Christmas came early this year

First of all, I know I'm obsessed but I can't help it. Giant creatures of the deep get me all excited and for the first time ever, video footage of a live giant squid has been recorded (brought to you by the genius Japanese guys who successfully photographed one by dangling a camera and a tasty treat on the end of a fishing line). Much the same technique was used this time, and you can see the footage here. See how huge that thing is? Well apparently it's just a young'un--full-grown giant squid can be more than twice as big. And the guy who's photographed them thinks that there may be more than believed. From his theory about whale diets, it sounds like swarms of giant squid are squirming around by the thousands, just waiting to be eaten by other sea monsters.

--which makes me think. The squid they caught died during its capture and was carted off to their lab. Do you think they ate some of it? Just a bit? I think they did, because I totally would. Just think of the calamari...
