• Yowzer! Hooks! another link It's just as Peter Benchley foretold!
• ... alas, not a monkey.
• "If calamari rings were made from the squid they would be the size of tractor tyres". If? IF????
• Wow, it's the Kraken!
• I try not to eat squid and octopussies now, seeming as their so clever and will one day rule us all, if only they can get past that dying-at-three-years thing, but in this ugly mofo's case, fire up the chip pan and squeeze me some lemon!
• will one day rule us all And don't forget rays.
• I mean, rays. damnit,
• The rays seem to have removed the evidence.
• oops
• this is merely a pawn of the real kraken that dwells at the center of all you know and possibly suspect that you believe this messenger was killed the next will not be so naive he will bring an army* and those who sneer shall be squeezed *arm-y, geddit?
• he will bring an army oh yes he will!
• This kraken was caught by NEW ZEALAND fisherpersons. And where does the tracikraken live? Isn't it time we chose an administrator of this site who doesn't have ten limbs and won't feed on the still-warm blood of poor, honest, cod-loving sailors?
• QUIDNUNC/OBAMA 2008
• Caught? Then who now will ravish the Edo fisherman's wife?
• Who else but his holy noodliness, goetter! NSFW, already posted here ages ago
• Ack! MonkeyFilter: Fire up the chip pan and squeeze me some lemon! We must fight these denizens of the deep with our forks and cast iron skillets!
• this is merely a pawn of the real kraken that dwells at the center of all you know The Tracikraken, obv. MoFi is the center of all I know. But I likes my admins with ten limbs.
• FINALLY my home town is famous. I can stop trying. Oh, the article doesn't actually mention that the squid is currently in cold storage in my home town of Timaru. But it is, I tells ya.
• I'll have you all know I only have two limbs, btw. *tucks*
• So either you walks on your hands or you types with your feets?
• She moves in mysterious ways, her wonders to perform...
• It's alright, it's alright, it's al-right...
• "Cold storage" eh? Interesting euphemism for your nuk-u-lar repository. Don't tell us you aren't hiding any *WMDs! *Weapons of Mollusca Destruction *declares jehad on chitons
• I'll have you all know I only have two limbs "Oooh look at me, I'm not a sea monster, I'm a real little girl! Now excuse me while I squirt ink on you all and feed your dismembered limbs into my gaping beak!" Does she think any of us actually buy this stuff? Look, I'm not actually saying that we should form some kinda angry mob of plastic garden rake-wielding vigilantes, storm tracikraken's house and give her a raking she won't soon forget. I'm not saying that AT ALL. All I'm saying is that it's a free country - right? - and if we want to meet up at the corner of tracicle avenue and main street to "talk about our options" then there's NOTHING the cops can do about it. And if you just HAPPEN to be carrying a platic garden rake at the time, that's your own damn business. So see you there.
• Count me out. I get blisters from raking. Once you've got the leaves in a big pile though, I'll come running.
• If by "leaves" you mean "the vile monster's internal organs, leeching their disgusting, poison-green ichor from punctured, blubbery walls" - then, yeah, jump on in.
• Great, sleekit, wigglin', jellied beastie, O, what a panic's in thy breastie! Thou need na start awa sae hasty, toward the lake! I wad be laith to rin an' chase thee, Wi' murd'ring rake! I'm truly sorry squid's dominion, Has broken nature's social union, An' justifies that ill opinion, Which makes me think That thou, my great, sea-born companion, Will spray thy ink!
• Will there be hot chocolate after?
• Hot chocolate would be nice. But no children this time. Last time the toddlers walked through the ichor puddles and threw ink at each other. I'm not cleaning that up again.
• Apparently TUM has a squid infestation. TUM, your poem, IT BURNS!
• Interactive kraken.
• Heh "Tentacle Club". Those guys are still around?
• It's interkraktive!
• Appears to be a circumsised strap-on model.
• Giant squid is evidence of trouble to come
• Ain't that the truth! I personally condense "Giant squid is evidence of trouble to come" into just plain "Aaigh!"
• Normally-anti-nuke Kiwis to microwave giant squid.
• Didn't Godzilla get started out that way?
• HOLY SHIT DON'T NUKE THE SQUID HAS RAY HARRYHAUSEN TAUGHT YOU NOTHING?
• The landing of a colossal squid by New Zealand fishermen earlier this year offered a rare glimpse into the mysterious world deep beneath the waves. Scientist Mark Norman uses this week's Green Room to argue that it also shows how marine life is being destroyed before it is understood.
• meaty calamari rings as large as tractor tires And much the same texture!
• Monster colossal squid is slow, not fearsome predator
• Super squid sex organ discovered: The mating habits of deep-sea squid have been revealed for the first time, after the discovery of a male squid with a huge elongated and erect penis.
