AWESOME, AWESOME TRIBUTE TO THE COLOSSAL SQUID. Seriously, click now, all ye who love the vast beasties of the deep.

I fell in love with the giant squid (again I note that these huge critters are smaller than the colossal squid under discussion) when I saw the pickled one at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of Natural History. Never saw a reason to reconsider my wonder at the great chieftains o’ the squidly race.
