I can’t remember anything which has generated so much interest, links and comments here. 🙂 Even the Afflicted vs Ammo City spat, or the homophobia in dancehall “debates”.
People sceptical of the squid’s god-like existence may like to see this comment from Bill, who – quite awesomely – is actually in the photo below.
Someone has linked to your post from http://linkfilter.net/ … might explain some of the extra traffic you’re getting hit with.
It would be somewhat typical if, after everything I’ve done, I was mainly remembered as “the squid guy”.
oh the irony…..!
See this weekend’s Guardian letters page where they admit it is a model of a young female giant squid? I’d hate to meet its daddy.
It’s a cover up! You can’t trust the liberal media!
Well now!

Sorry, but at this point I can’t stop!

That 2nd link is completely awesome! I’ll have to do a squid round up in a bit… Thanks! 🙂
the reports about that new photo referred to earlier sightings, one I believe was by a tanker cru off Sth Africa who watched a sperm wale and a giant squid fight for ages, end result was that the whale floated to the surface, dead with the squid grasping it all around. However, as it floated closer they say that the squid was dead as well–its head and part of its upper region was inside the whale, either swallowed or chomped :0
