Giant Squid Invade Florida

[coldfrog]

If you've ever looked even slightly below the surface of the ocean, you'd know that 2/3 of the entire planet should be marked "Here there be monsters". Migration, damaged habitat, or dumb luck... I wonder why this one went so far.

The squid is was transported to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Research Institute, then handed to a team from the University of Florida for further study. No news yet if Florida maps will be updated to proclaim "Here there be monsters."

In an unrelated story, everyone's invited for fried squid at the University of Florida's oceanographic research department tomorrow from 6-8 pm.

It's not a squid; it's just an alien that looks like squid.

By killing it, Mister Benz, you will bring down the wrath of this warrior race upon us.

You've doomed Earth.

I hope you're happy.

So one of my minions got caught and committed suicide as ordered... Excellent.

The title of this thread, plus your comment, made my day sir. It proves he's out there... Davy Jones :O

According to Van Os, the fisherman "did a good job" catching the squid and bringing him to shore for study, saying it was "really good they recognized what they had."

What's all this about Study? Personally, I wouldn't feel safe in assuming that the fishermen didn't work up an appetite hauling the giant, evil sea monster ashore.

Giant squid taste awful. Stupid high amounts of ammonia in the flesh

This is why I have a phobia of the deep ocean. These things can show up anywhere. *shudder*

 

[AxelxGabriel]

People must be told.

Evil Must Be Punished.

It's a shame we have no way to study them while they're alive... except perhaps traveling out into the ocean with a MASSIVE plastic container and catching a squid in there... and then simulating the currents and whatnot! It'd be a really extensive and improbable project, but they could do it! Maybe!

 

[FalloutJack]

Only one thing to do!

i have this sudden mysterious craving for calamari o.0

awesome stuff though..especially for an everyday fisherman to make a find like that

That was my first thought when I read the line "The squid is was transported to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Research Institute, then handed to a team from the University of Florida." I finished that line with the words "Where they cut it up and fried it in oil...."

 

[BrownGaijin]

First thought: I once caught a squid... THIS BIG!

Second thought: Well this is what we get for killing so many sharks.

 

[Nocta-Aeterna]

It would be nice if, even only for once, they were able to keep a specimen alive.

Why do you think I will never, ever, set foot in one of those trenches?

Here there be monsters indeed.

Oh and Cthulhu.

 

[Scarim Coral]

Should a squid inavde the UK I will turn the cooker on, I like eating squid!

 

[Twilight.falls]

I'm pretty sure giant squid only exist dead or near-death.

Seriously, we never seem to be able to keep even 1 alive for more than a few minutes.

 

[MikailCaboose]

We're doomed! Wait... Florida is doomed!
*arms the nukes to defend the UK*

Nah, it will be us to train these demons and use them in a new era of marine warfare!!!
Mwahahahaha-hackhorf!
*clears throat*

Your nukes will not save you from the squid nation!

Giant Squid Invade Florida

Such an important news that the Editor-in-Chief had to come down from his throne and write the news post himself, lest his minions do a botched job, eh?

Also, I'm still confused about whether your avatar is a picture of Kane or Paul Giamatti.

Yes, I know, terrible sight.
