Is this the year for squid or what? Right on the heels of the stunningly excellent bioluminescent cephalopod attack (about which my blogging has been most tardiloquent: apologies), we now have the largest squid ever caught, a Mesonychoteuthis hamiltoni, i.e. colossal squid. (Architeuthis, the giant squid, is longer, which Mesonychoteuthis is heavier.) Half a ton and 33 feet long! Obviously, this has made my day!
While you're looking at Deep Sea News, check out the video of the giant isopods.
